Description
A lawsuit filed by the family of a University Place man who drowned over the summer alleges Parks Tacoma knew of the dangers that caused his death.
On July 8, with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees in some areas, 68-year-old Robert Logan Jr. and a friend went to cool off in the waters off Titlow Beach, according to the lawsuit. The two were on floats, but as Logan disembarked to exit the water, he was sucked under by a whirlpool, through a culvert pipe and into Titlow Lagoon.
