The jury heard from the classmates of the late Yifan Wang who were with him the day the Chinese student died. Before he was pulled from the pool, video shows him going down the water slide and then disappearing, which is consistent with testimony from friends.
One of the then high-school aged lifeguard on duty when Yifan Wang died says she spied the boy limp, vertical, deep under water with no bubbles coming to the surface.
Both she and the head lifeguard said the incident led to greater awareness, and more skills upgrading at Aquatic Center and that everybody did what they were supposed to do on the day of his death. The inquest also heard there were three people, two lifeguards and a paramedic, working on Wang within moments of the discovery he was unresponsive.
According to the head lifeguard at the time, the only potential error was that the young man was dragged into a puddle of water, which made it impossible to use the portable defibrillator for fear of electrocuting bystanders.
