Authorities have confirmed that the incident was not water-related. The identity of the child has not been released.

According to a statement from Irvine Police, officers and the Orange County Fire Authority responded to the incident at the water park on Saturday. The park officials stated that the boy experienced a non-water, but medical-related incident outside of a pool.

The boy was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention, but sadly, he later passed away. Initially, the park statement stated that the boy was 12 years old, but his mother has informed Nexstar's KSWB that he was actually 11 years old.

The management of Wild Rivers Water Park expressed their grief and extended their condolences to the boy's family and loved ones. They requested that everyone keep the family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

At this moment, no further details have been provided by the Irvine Police or the park officials regarding the incident. The investigation is still ongoing.

Wild Rivers Water Park, previously operational from 1986 to 2011, reopened at its new location on 10000 Great Park Boulevard in the summer of 2022.

This unfortunate incident has left the community shocked and saddened. The authorities are working diligently to understand the circumstances surrounding the child's death. As more information becomes available, it is hoped that it will shed light on the incident and provide some closure for the grieving family.
