US EditionCamp Mystic official testifies that deaths still haven’t officially been reported to state agency
Mary Liz Eastland said the camp has not formally reported 27 deaths as regulators review its bid to reopen for nearly 900 girls.
- On Tuesday, Camp Mystic medical officer Mary Liz Eastland testified she has not officially reported the July 4 flood deaths of 25 campers and two counselors to Texas health regulators reviewing the camp's reopening application.
- Texas administrative code mandates that camps report deaths within 24 hours, a requirement Eastland admitted she failed to consider following the flood or before submitting the camp's March 31 application.
- The lawsuit filed by the family of 8-year-old Cile Steward prompted the hearing, where camp operators detailed delayed evacuations while facing outrage over plans to host nearly 900 girls.
- State regulators will visit the camp during the pending license review, as Gov. Dan Patrick stated no license should be issued until all investigations conclude.
- Describing Edward Eastland as a 'genuine hero,' attorney Mikal Watts highlighted the camp operator's actions grabbing two girls before they were washed away during the July 4 flood.
