The father of the 14-year-old boy who plunged 400 feet to his death on a Florida amusement park ride said he learned of his son’s death on social media.
“I wish I was there to tell him I love him. That I’m sorry. For him to lose his life. So young, and I wish it was me,” Yarnell Sampson, the father of the victim, Tyre Sampson, told WESH2 in Orlando in an interview published Monday.
