WARSAW, N.Y. —Two New York men face manslaughter and other charges in the deaths of two young brothers under their watch who fell over a 70-foot waterfall.

Wyoming County District Attorney Donald O’Geen tells the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle that the deaths were not only tragic but also “100 percent preventable.”

The prosecutor says 32-year-old Chad Staley and 34-year-old Tyler Jennings were with a group of boys that left a designated trail at Letchworth State Park in Castile in June. They had gone into the water to get a better view of the falls when the two boys were washed away.

Two New York men face manslaughter and other charges in the deaths of two young brothers under their watch who fell over a 70-foot waterfall. 

Chad Staley, 32, and Tyler Jennings, 34, led a group of boys away from a designated trail at Letchworth State Park in Castile in June.

They had gone into the water to get a better view of the falls when the two boys were washed away.

According to the release: 'It took a couple of days to recover their bodies after a very thorough and heroic effort by law enforcement officials from multiple agencies.

'The other three children and the two defendants who also went over the falls suffered non-life threatening injuries.'

The others also went over the falls, I guess, these people must have been trying to get close to where the waterfalls were, obviously, right next to the falls?
