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.
Erickson said last year that families are responsible for maintaining the headstones.
