WAVELAND -- The death of 10-year-old Madison Camille Karno in a weekend boating accident has stirred memory of a similar incident and a lawsuit by the Waveland girl's father, according to media reports.
Nicholas Karno of the Diamondhead community is suing Bay St. Louis physician Rowe S. Crowder for negligence since his daughter died while reportedly riding on an inner tube on the Jourdan River. Crowder is said to have been driving the boat pulling the tube when the accident occurred.

Madison attended Coast Episcopal School in Long Beach. She participated in Gulf Coast Elite Cheerleading Squad, Diamondhead Dance Academy, Classique Vibe Dance Competition Team, and Troop 544 Brownies of Coast Episcopal.
She was preceded in death by grandfather Nick Karno.
