Lenny Ortega - 2006

Lenny Ortega died when he was only 16 years of age.

His death was the second death at Star Ranch. It was an accidental death. The poor boy was swept away by a creek and downed.

The case was investigated and the conclusion was that the boy hadn't been properly protected and warned against the dangerous waters, so the Ranch was closed down.

It was a tragic accident and a terrible loss for his family.

May he rest in peace.
