The teen's family said that he jumped into the water in Perth Amboy on a dare after friends offered him $300.
A jogger moves along the Perth Amboy waterfront in a 2020 file photo. The family of a 17-year-old who drowned while swimming in Perth Amboy two years ago has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, claiming the waterfront was dangerous at the time and city officials did nothing to protect swimmers.
Also, emergency personnel failed to “swiftly and properly respond” to Vasquez, “a swimmer who required rescue,” the suit states. Vazquez “was a person of diminished mental capacity, incapable of understanding the nature and consequences of personal actions,” the suit says. Although he was age 17, he had the mentality of a younger person, according to the lawsuit.
