Executives in charge of a Kansas water park were charged in the death of a 10-year-old boy who was decapitated on a water slide in 2016.

Two designers of the water slide known as Verruckt, which means “insane” in German, will face second-degree murder charges in connection with the child’s death. Caleb Schwab, 10, the son of a Kansas Republican state lawmaker, died on the 17-story slide when the raft he was on went airborne and hit an overhead loop, killing him.
