House Speaker Ray Merrick told the Kansas City Star Schwab's family was "the center of his world." Kansas City police spokesman Officer Cameron Morgan said he didn't have any information late Sunday, and Prosapio said more details would be released later. Few details have been released about the Sunday death on the Verruckt, a 168-foot-tall waterslide that is one of the main attractions at the Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City. The 10-year-old son of a Kansas state lawmaker died while riding a waterslide that's billed as the world's largest, according to officials and the boy's family. Verruckt, which means "insane" in German, was certified as the world's tallest waterslide by Guinness World Records.
