The family of Fabrizio Stabile<\/strong>, the 29-year-old New Jersey surfer who died after contracting a brain-eating amoeba, is claiming that BSR<\/strong> waterpark officials “tried to cover up evidence of a deadly brain-eating amoeba. . . by \u201chyper-chlorinating\u201d the surf pool on the eve of a federal health agency investigation,” according to a story in the Waco Tribune-Herald<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Houston attorney Richard Fass, who represents the parents of Fabrizio Stabile, also charged that the water park\u2019s owner, Stuart Parsons Jr.<\/strong>, is stonewalling the discovery process in the wrongful death lawsuit<\/a> by claiming text messages and emails potentially important to the plaintiffs\u2019 case were lost when Parsons dropped his cellphone in Lake Whitney. . . The lawsuit alleges \u201cBSR\u2019s blue-green dyed waves masked a pathogen soup in which Naegleria fowleri amoeba \u2014 \u2018the brain-eating amoeba\u2019 \u2014 could thrive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to the story “Parsons\u2019 attorney, Brittney Angelich<\/strong>, of Dallas, declined comment after a pretrial hearing in the case Thursday. Parsons did not return a phone message Thursday.”<\/p>\n Stabile’s family is seeking more than $1 million from BSR Surf Resort. Sadly, a 10-year-old Waco girl contracted the same brain-eating amoeba on Labor Day weekend<\/strong><\/a> this year and is currently in a medically induced coma fighting for her life. It is thought that she got it while swimming in the nearby Brazos River.<\/p>\n
