The family of Abigail Taylor, who died after a horrific pool filter incident in March, has accepted an $8 million settlement from the Minneapolis Golf Club, the pool’s owners.

The settlement exceeded the $6 million limit on the club’s insurance, so the members had to vote to get a $2 million bank loan to pay the difference, club president Herb Houndt said Wednesday. Votes were counted this past weekend.

“I’m very pleased,” he said. “We’d like to bring closure to this for both the club and Taylor family.”

After Abigail died, her family was instrumental in persuading Congress and the Minnesota Legislature to pass safety laws that require entrapment-proof drain covers for new public pools.

Five years after a man’s father was presumed dead and cremated, the man spotted his dad on television.

[John] Renehan’s father, John Delaney, disappeared in 2000, the Daily Mail reported. When police found a decomposed body in April 2003, wearing similar clothes and with similar wounds to Delaney, they declared it was him.

A coroner confirmed the police findings and Renehan paid for a cremation and wake, the Mail reported. He is now demanding an apology from police for the trauma he suffered believing his dad was dead.

Turns out 71-year-old Delaney had been in a care facility since 2000, after suffering a head injury and memory loss, the Mail reported. Unable to give any clues as to his identity, Delaney was given the name David Harrison and placed in a home.

Four gang members have been charged with the shooting death of 10-year-old Nequiel Fowler, who was shot to death while playing outside her Chicago home on Labor Day.

John Gorman, spokesman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, declined to discuss what role each man is alleged to have played in the girl’s shooting, which triggered outrage from city leaders.

But Chicago police spokesman John Mirabelli said Luis Pena, 20, of Chicago, opened fire on Nequiel and the others from a gangway. The children were not the intended targets, he said, adding that the men were members of the Latin Dragons gang.

Word that charges had been filed came as a welcome surprise to Linda Williams, mother of Nequiel, who was called Nee-Nee.
