The family of the 8-year-old boy who died after drowning in Cowabunga Bay's wave pool is spending this Monday making funeral arrangements.

Ddaquan Bankston's uncle says the boy was a goofy, bright child and a voracious reader. As a 2nd grader, Daquan was reading at a 4th and 5th grade level at Kit Carson Elementary School.

Instead of enjoying the summer with Daquan before he enters 3rd grade, his family is making arrangements for his memorial. Daquan was rushed to the hospital from Cowabunga Bay's wave pool on June 18 and died Friday night at Sunrise Hospital after five days on life support.

An investigation into the drowning is ongoing, but Daquan's family wants to know more about the moments leading up to Daquan being swept under water. They tell 8 News NOW, that he spent an extensive amount of time under water, but had no major trauma or signs of hitting his head... Read More
