Caleb Schwab autopsy report was being searched by several people as they wanted to know the cause of the 10-year-old boy’s death.

It was reported that the boy died on the world’s tallest water slide in Kansas. 

Later, some gruesome details were revealed about the boy’s death.

Caleb Thomas Schwab was the son of Kansas state Rep. Scott Schwab, and he was killed when he was riding “Verruckt” at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City.

The slide on which the boy went is 168 feet tall and has approximately 264 stairs leading to the top, and it was confirmed that the slide was taller than the height of the Statue of liberty. In German, the slide’s name means “insane.”

According to sources, Esteban Castaneda had witnessed the scene, and he said he heard the booming sound coming from the slide.

When he reached there, he saw a boy’s body sliding down after the raft. 

He added that the lifeguard was trying to push away the people from the incident spot as he saw that a boy’s body was lying face down in the water.

Castaneda had a conversation with the lifeguard in which he was informed that he couldn’t do anything as the boy died. 

The lifeguard told him that there were two other women in the raft and the raft’s first position was empty, which led them to assume that Caleb was sitting there. 

Castaneda said he had ridden that slide with his cousin’s 14-year-old daughter earlier that day and told her that her safety belt came undone when the raft came down. 

A report was released by the Kansas City Police in which they said the boy died due to a severe neck injury.

Though the other two women on the raft with Caleb weren’t related to him, they suffered minor injuries on their faces. 

After the incident, the park was closed for investigation.

The family spokesman for the Schwab family said they were heartbroken. 

The spokesman added the family’s child was a hugger and loved his parents, sports, and Jesus.

The Guinness World Records certified Verrucktthe as the world’s tallest water slide.

After the incident, parents have become way more cautious towards their child’s safety during their visits to these types of parks.

Rachel Grey, who brought her kids, said, “Stay away from the large rides. We’ll just stay by the kiddie area and our cabanas.”

Galveston’s Schlitterbahn park was open, but several parents didn’t come with their children.

However, it was said that they don’t have the type of slide on which Schwab died.

Although, they have other slides that are pretty safe. 

Attorney Daniel Horowitz shared a statement in which it was mentioned, “There’s an annual inspection of the park, but it’s really looking to make sure that the park itself has its paperwork in line. There’s not so much of a hands-on walking through, making sure everything is safe. They leave that up to the parks.”
