Investigators said the death was the result of electrocution. They found that stakes used to secure a water slide punctured an underground electrical wire, which caused the surrounding ground to become energized. The child was electrocuted after coming into contact with the energized ground.

The Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death accidental.
