A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed in the drowning death of an Our Lady of the Elms student.

It happened in 2010, when police say Emma Nahas, 19, was drinking on a yacht on Lake Erie, went for a swim and drowned.

Naha's mother, Tracy Holmes Super, has filed the lawsuit in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

The defendents include boat operator Alex J. Cucu of Willoughby, and John Slyman, a fellow swimmer on the evening of July 8, 2010.

The lawsuit claims the two were negligent and reckless when it came to the safety of Nahas and the other underage woman on the 48-foot boat.
