Plaintiff's intestate, while lawfully on the land of the defendants, fell into a river and was drowned. His death was caused by the negligence of the defendants, because they maintained a nuisance on their premises and because they failed to safeguard an inherently dangerous condition. The land was open for use by the public in general for a parking space for automobiles. These allegations of the complaint, admitted by the demurrer, make a trial necessary to determine the precise circumstances surrounding the accident.
