The designer of the Kansas water slide on which a 10-year-old boy was decapitated has been arrested in the child's death, the latest to be charged in the tragic 2016 incident. John Schooley was taken into custody in Dallas after arriving on a flight from China, according to reports. He was charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of Caleb Schwab, online jail records show.
