Wrongful Death Suit Filed Against Sioux Falls After Drowning Death of 5-Year-Old Girl
Sioux Falls is at the center of a new lawsuit filed in federal court over the drowning death of a 5-year-old girl last spring. According to the wrongful death suit, the city of Sioux Falls allegedly “failed to provide adequate safety precautions at Falls Park, where Maggie Zaiger drowned after falling from the river bank rocks into the water on March 18.” It argues that the city “had previously ignored recommendations to establish barriers to better distinguish where the quartzite rock in the park ends and the water begins.”
