The investigations into the death of a Two Rivers student this winter have been completed.
Assistant Police Chief Ben Meinnert says a report from The Manitowoc County Coroner’s Office rules the death of 15-year-old sophomore Zach Benson, as an accident with the immediate cause of death being drowning.
Two Rivers Police, in consultation with The Manitowoc County District Attorney’s Office, determined that there was no evidence to substantiate criminal charges.
Paramedics responded to The High School pool the afternoon of February 8th for the report of a possible accident.
Benson was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
Meinnert adds that “our sympathies remain with the family of the deceased and the entire Two Rivers High School Community.”
