Former Youth Counselors Sentenced to Probation in Connection with Teen's Death

Cornelius Fredericks' death, after being restrained at Lakeside Academy, was ruled a homicide by the Kalamazoo County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Two former youth counselors, Michael Mosley and Zachary Solis, have been sentenced to 18 months on probation in connection with the death of 16-year-old Cornelius Fredericks.
Fredericks died after losing consciousness while being restrained by staff at Lakeside Academy for reportedly throwing a sandwich.
The Kalamazoo County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Fredericks' death a homicide.
The counselors pleaded no contest in March to involuntary manslaughter, and two counts of second-degree child abuse were dropped.
A third defendant, Heather Newton McLogan, the former director of nursing at Lakeside, was sentenced to 18 months probation in September 2021.
