The teenager, whose name the law enforcement authorities do not name because of his age, during the tragedy was in the Fun Town water park on Crystal Beach.
Allegedly, he slipped after lifting the drain grate and was pulled in by pumps that are “responsible” for draining the water.
Galveston County Sheriff (Texas) Henry Troshesset, who described the teenager as 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm) tall, said that even if someone had turned off the pump quickly, it would hardly have helped avoid injuries.

“Even after they turned off the pump, it was still being sucked in by inertia,” Trochesset said.
During the incident, the teenager was conscious and even apologized to his father.
"He told his father, 'I love you, I'm sorry this happened,'" Trochesset said.
“He was even able to stand up. He was taken from the scene on a gurney and taken to an ambulance,” the sheriff added.
The teenager was taken to the medical branch of the University of Texas at Galveston, where he is now in critical condition.
Troiszeth called the incident "tragic" for the family and said: "We need to pray."
A general prayer was held in honor of the teenager, and several fundraising funds were created, including at GoFundMe.
The owner of Fun Town water park, Harold Leblanc, said he would not comment on the incident.
