Attorneys with history of litigating duck boat death cases to make announcement in KC Monday

Attorneys with a history of suing duck boat operators in wrongful death cases have called a press conference in Kansas City Monday to make an announcement related to the recent tragedy in Branson.

Philadelphia attorney Robert Mongeluzzi and his team of lawyers plan to meet with reporters at the Hotel Ambassador downtown.

Mongeluzzi’s cases against duck boats include a wrongful death suit against Ride the Ducks after two passengers were killed in a 2010 incident on the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

He has been speaking out about his concerns with duck boats this past week after 17 people, including five children, drowned in Table Rock Lake near Branson July 19 after a Ride the Ducks boat was overwhelmed by storm-driven waves and sank.

Details on Monday’s planned announcement were not immediately Sunday night.

Royals bringing former Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz into spring training camp

The Royals are working toward an agreement with free-agent right-hander Clay Buchholz on a minor-league contract, a source told The Star. Buchholz, 33, missed almost all of 2017 after surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm. He made two starts for Philadelphia before the injury, posting a 12.27 ERA in 7 1/3 innings pitched. He was traded from Boston to the Phillies before the 2017 season. With the Red Sox, Buchholz was a two-time All-Star and pitched on the 2013 World Series championship team.
