12-year-old boy dies after medical incident at Wild Rivers water park in Irvine

IRVINE, Calif. (CNS) -- A 12-year-old boy who became stricken with a medical emergency at an Irvine water park died at a hospital.

The Orange County Fire Authority was summoned at 11:07 a.m. Saturday to Wild Rivers water park, 10000 Great Park Blvd., according to Capt. Thanh Nguyen.

Paramedics treated the boy at the scene, then transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Nguyen said.

"It does not appear the incident is water-related,'' the Irvine Police Department posted on X. The nature of the medical emergency was not disclosed.

Wild Rivers later posted on its Instagram account that the patient was a 12-year-old boy who experienced a medical-related incident outside one of the pools.

"We are deeply saddened to share that an incident occurred today at Wild Rivers,'' the park announced. Despite the swift response from our team and emergency services, he sadly passed away later at the hospital. Our hearts go out to the boy's family and loved ones during this difficult time. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.''

Wild Rivers opened in July 1986 at the site of the former Lion Country Safari. It closed in September 2011 after its lease with the Irvine Company expired but reopened in Irvine's Great Park on July 10, 2022.

From splash pads to pools, the best ways to get wet & beat the heat in Palm Beach County

The heat is most definitely on this summer and if you listen to the news it's only going to get hotter. While it can feel downright apocalyptic out there, and the temptation is to just hunker down in an air-conditioned cave, watch movies, play video games, maybe even take that pile of clothes off your Peloton bike and go for a ride, you can't stay there forever.

When you've just got to get out of the house and get outside (or maybe, more importantly, just get the kids out of the house and outside), what can you do? Get wet and go wild! That's what!

And luckily, in Palm Beach County there are plenty of options from splash pad to full on water park. Here are some of the standouts:

Get wet and wild at the Palm Beach Zoo

Though known mostly for its fulltime residents, including jaguars, tigers, koalas, bears, caiman, cougars, capybaras, monkeys, flamingos, owls, and more, the Palm Beach Zoo also has a massive, interactive fountain for kids to play in and cool off. Included in the price of admission, the fountain is located in the center of the zoo with the four main areas branching off of it. Though the attraction "is mostly used by kids, adults are welcome to cool off as well," zoo spokesperson John Towey says. He also added that the zoo is very well shaded making it comfortable on even some of South Florida's hottest days. Towey said that the animals are also well protected from the heat with all of their habitats having shaded areas and most also having water features. In addition, many of the animals are given ice treats, including frozen bones for the tigers and piles of ice for the bears. The zoo is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Adults $28.95; seniors (60 and up) $26.95; ages 3 to 12 $22.95; ages 0 to 2 free. Purchase online and save $2 per ticket.

Etawah (UP), Jun 25 (PTI) One of the three lion cubs born 25 days ago here in the Etawah Lion Safari Park died on Tuesday, officials said.

On June 1, lioness Neerja had given birth to three cubs, Deputy Director of the Lion Safari Park Dr Vinay Kumar Singh said.

The lioness was not feeding her milk to one of her cubs, leaving it to the staff of the Safari to feed the cub, he said.

According to Singh, the cub had been drinking less milk since June 21 and its health was under monitor.

On Tuesday morning, when the keeper went to feed the cub in the morning, he found it dead.

The cub’s body will be sent to IVRI-Bareilly for a post mortem, the official said.

He said the remaining two cubs are drinking milk and are healthy. PTI COR ABN ABN VN VN
