A 16-year old teenager is dead after he fell off of a water slide at a Wisconsin theme park.
Addison Williams , his brother, and their friend were in a public area at the Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells when they decided to jump a 7-foot fence and sneak into a portion of the park closed for the winter.
The three climbed to the top of a water slide, where the teenager tried to use a plastic saucer to slide down. However, the teen got caught in some snow. When he stood up, he slipped, falling nearly 35 feet to the ground.
First responders tried to revive the teen, but were unsuccessful. Police say that the family was on vacation in Wisconsin because they had never been around snow before.
Addison and his brothers attend Port St.Lucie High School.
There is a Go Fund Me Site setup to help with expenses.
