The incident took place in October 2018 at the Waters Lake Travis, which is a man-made lake, in Northwest of Austin. Jack reportedly died after being pushed into the Lake by Delaney.
Reportedly, Delaney and the 19-year-old were “kissing” when she gave him a “playful shove” due to which he fell off the boat before hitting a propeller and drowned in the water that evening.

She later posted on social media saying, “I’m still messed up from this and my parents are here with me now, but we don’t know much still. I just feel guilty … and I don’t think I have ever been this sad. I was the last person to touch him”.
A wrongful death suit was filed by Jack’s family in 2020 which revealed the true incident. In a sworn statement, another onboard teen named Elle Weber claimed, “Delaney and Jack were at the front of the boat, flirting and kissing.
