CASSOPOLIS - A boating accident on the east side of Donnell Lake Saturday killed a 7-year-old Lansing, Ill., boy, Ryan Paul Zielinski.
Ryan was one of four children being towed on tubes behind a power boat driven by Sean Maas, 36, of Dyer, Ind.
Cass County Sheriff Joseph M. Underwood said Monday that his office is continuing its investigation into the Aug. 20 mishap.
The sheriff reported that the personal watercraft piloted by a 33-year-old male from Mishawaka, Ind., was traveling in the opposite direction of the power boat driven by Maas when it crossed behind the power boat and struck the children.
