Earlier this summer, tragedy hit Appanoose County, Iowa, when a 17-year-old high school student and Prom King was found dead just an hour after being reported missing.
On June 26, 2024, Ayden Beeson was swimming when he disappeared under the water and never resurfaced. A 911 call reported a possible drowning at Rathbun Lake. The Appanoose County Sheriff and the Water Rescue team quickly launched a search, but sadly, the outcome was heartbreaking.
The rescue team found Ayden’s body in 15 to 20 feet of water. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ayden was a popular student in the Centerville School District. He was a leader on the football field, a talented tennis player, and had been voted Prom King before his spring graduation.
Superintendent Mark Taylor expressed the community’s grief, saying, “Losing such a great kid in the prime of his life is devastating. He was kind to everyone, really popular, and there wasn’t a single person at school he couldn’t be nice to.”
Ayden’s coach shared a heartfelt tribute, saying Ayden wasn’t afraid of hard work and was a standout player. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.
The day after Ayden Beeson’s passing, the Centerville Community Schools shared a heartfelt message on their Facebook page, expressing that they were “deeply saddened” to learn about the loss of one of their beloved students.
The district highlighted Ayden’s active involvement in the school community and emphasized how he was known and appreciated by both staff and students for his “genuinely kind” nature.
Ayden’s passing has left a profound impact on those who knew him, with many remembering him as a kind and positive presence in the school.

Oh Carol, Carol! At the end of the 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, which tackled the themes of honesty and faithfulness in marriage, there was a more adventurous couple attempting to trade wives with their more conventional friends. When you find out that the attractive woman in a paisley bikini, Natalie Wood, is involved, the stakes suddenly seem a little greater. Wood played Carol, a lady determined to confess everything, even their illicit affairs, to her husband Bob (Robert Culp). Although Alice (Dyan Cannon) insisted on switching partners in one of those real-life movie-world cerebral exchanges, Ted (Elliott Gould) wasn’t too thrilled of the idea. It functions for a short duration before breaking down.
