(Radio Iowa) -The Ames Tribune reports court documents show Iowa’s attorney general is recommending that Iowa State University and the State of Iowa pay a three-and-a-half MILLION dollar settlement to the family of an I-S-U sophomore who died in a rowing accident. Two members of the Iowa State Crew Club died three years ago when their boat capsized during windy conditions on Little Wall Lake, which is about 18 miles north of Ames.

The parents of Yaakov Ben-David filed a wrongful death lawsuit and the proposed settlement must be approved by a three-member state panel. I-S-U freshman Derek Nanni was the other student who drowned in March of 2021 and the state paid a two MILLION dollar settlement to his parents two years ago.
