The parents of a Lehi boy who was killed after a tombstone fell on him last year are suing the cemetery’s association.
According to a lawsuit filed in Utah’s Third District Court, 4-year-old Carson Dean Cheney was posing for photos with family at Glenwood Cemetery in Park City on July 5 when a 4-foot-tall tombstone fell on him.
The lawsuit says the child only lightly touched the tombstone before it fell.
The boy’s parents are seeking more than $300,000 from the Glenwood Cemetery Association and claim the organization negligently attempted to fix the headstone years before.
The group’s president said last year that families are responsible for maintaining the headstones.
