A lawyer speaking on behalf of the family said, quote, Okay.

In response to their claims, Shanad gave another public statement, explaining, Two of our employees were the first to respond to the incident, and the first thing they had to do to get to the victim was unlock the gate.

In fact, the investigation by Santa Clara police backed up his version of events.

Sergeant Anton Marek said the first maintenance person tried to unlock the gate but didn't have the right key.

They had to wait for the second maintenance person to arrive.

What's bizarre, because I'm sure you're like, where's the bizarre part about this?

It's very sad.

A week after the accident, it was reported that the man everyone had identified as Hector Mendoza was not who he seemed to be.

The identification had been made based on interviews with the family and the man's documents found in his wallet.

However, they turned out to be fraudulent and the real Hector Mendoza was alive and living in Mexico.

What?

The man who died at Great America was eventually identified through fingerprints as Suarez Robles.

What?

Following the identification, his body was released to his family who returned to bury him.
