The park district has told neither CBS 2 nor the fire department how long the child was underwater before anyone noticed her.
"How? How, right?" he said."I don't know."
The Tinley Park Park District also has not said how many lifeguards were on duty at the time – or who first spotted the girl in distress. But Antonio left the water park thankful he didn't witness the efforts to save the child – thinking only of her loved ones. "Of course, the prayers go out the family," he said."It's a sad situation for any parent out there. God bless them."
The Tinley Park Park District said out of respect, and the ongoing investigation, the water park will not open Saturday. They are still assessing whether they will reopen this July 4th weekend.
