Boy Who Died Was Able To Swim

A teenager who died at the Aquatic Center in 2011 was able to swim, according to testimony from a lifeguard.

Yifan Wang died after going down the yellow waterslide at the recreational center.

The General Managers of the Aquatic Center testifying all procedures were followed and paramedics were on the scene before they even hung up with the 911 dispatcher.

 According to paramedics the boy had no heartbeat when they arrived on the scene, but his heart was restarted in hospital with a shot of adrenalin. While the Aquatic Center has had numerous 911 calls over the years, Yifan Wang's death was the first since Center opened in 1985. 


It's expected the inquest will wrap up tomorrow.
