Tropical Storm Cindy: 10-year-old boy killed by a log blown ashore by a huge wave, police say
A huge wave knocked a log in front of a waterfront condo into a 10-year-old boy, toppling and killing him, on Wednesday morning according to the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies from the BCSO were dispatched to 3118 Ponce De Leon Court off Fort Morgan Road in Fort Morgan, Alabama for a possible drowning around 10:30 a.m.
Once on the scene, BCSO investigators discovered that a 10-year-old boy, from St. Louis, Missouri, had walked outside a condominium his family was staying in earlier that morning. The child's father told investigators that the young boy was standing only a few feet from the front door.
He said between the boy and the waterfront was a large log.
The boy's father was outside at the time, but several feet away attending to other children. He noticed a huge wave was coming ashore and headed toward the area where log and his son was standing.
