Summary:
Las Vegas PD advised the park on 11/15 that a suicidal woman who'd also
threatened to kill her seven-year-old son was in the area. Later on the
same morning, concession divers doing routine maintenance on marina
docks discovered a submerged vehicle with the victim's body in it. The
mother admitted to killing her son; she said she'd given him an overdose
of sleeping pills, then driven the car into the water. She was arrested
by rangers and turned over to the Clark County sheriff's office. An
autopsy is to be performed.
