Ten-year-old boy on Kansas City waterslide died of neck injury-police

Caleb Thomas Schwab died on Sunday at the Schlitterbahn waterpark on the Verrückt water slide, which sends riders plunging down 17 stories at up to 50 miles an hour (80 kph). Police and fire officials rushed to the scene after a report of an emergency and found the boy "dead from a fatal neck injury at the end of the ride, in the pool," the statement said. Park officials said in a statement that Schlitterbahn Kansas City would remain closed at least until Wednesday, while the slide would be shut down during the course of the investigation.
