Parents of girl who drowned at Kansas City water park file lawsuit

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The parents of a 6-year-old girl who drowned at a Kansas City water park allege in a lawsuit that the park hires young, inexperienced lifeguards and fails to adequately train them. The lawsuit says a dangerous environment at Oceans of Fun led to the death of 6-year-old Adeline Stewart, of Grandview, Missouri, last July. Her parents sued Oceans of Fun and its parent company, Cedar Fair. Adeline was pulled from the Coconut Cove pool and died days later at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. A spokesperson said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
