On June 27, 2019, a 12-year old boy died while riding a roller coaster called the “Hoosier Hurricane” in Indiana Beach, Indiana. The young boy was attended to by medical personnel on the ride but died later that afternoon. The actual cause of death is still unknown as the young boy’s autopsy revealed “no trauma, injury, congenital abnormalities, or toxins.” The White County Sherriff, Bill Brooks, stated that young boy’s medical history is unremarkable, and the only illness or injury of any significance was a recent upper respiratory infection. However, others who have ridden the same roller coaster reported having been shocked when getting off the ride, giving authorities a lead as to a possible cause of death. The parents of the young boy have filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
