GWINN, MI-- A family is suing the Gwinn Area School District over the death of their daughter in a gym last year.
AmarahFilizetti, 4, was playing in the Gwinn High School gym last September 3 when a heavy safety partition fell on her. She was airlifted to a downstate hospital, where she died the next day. Her mother was coaching cheerleaders in the gym at the time.
The Filizetti family has filed a lawsuit against the school district and others, claiming employees had warned that the partition needed to be reattached to the gym wall. They say it’s a case of negligence.
