Cory Topp had just finished pitching for his Lake Central baseball team Friday evening when he fell to the ground in cardiac arrest. Efforts to revive him didn't work, and Cory, who suffered from heart disease, was pronounced dead at a hospital that evening. Cory's father, Ronald Topp Jr., said Cory was born with aortic stenosis, and that it was monitored throughout his life. One person drowned when a boat sank on the Ohio River during the Thunder Over Louisville celebration Saturday. The group had witnessed the fireworks and was returning to Jeff Boat when their small boat began taking on water and sank.
Police say the large crowd of boats on the river was a recipe for disaster.
Police plan to recover the boat on Tuesday. Whitacre died of massive internal injuries after being flown to the University of Louisville hospital. Blanton and his father, Stephen, a passenger in the truck, both sustained head and facial injuries as a result of the accident. The Blanton's are listed in fair and stable conditions at this time at the University of Louisville Hospital. The Indiana State Police continue to investigate the deadly accident.
