Quite often, news is what's newest: the latest development, ultimate outcome, end result.
So, did this lede meet that goal?
A local resident was killed by a lightning strike in a pool last summer.
I'd say no. The latest development is that a survivor of that lighning strike is now suing the city, as this lede notes:
A 17-year-old is suing the city for failure to warn him of an approaching storm while swimming in a pool last summer, resulting in serious life-long medical issues.
Just remember, you can't spell "news" without "new." Look for what's new, and emphasize the new thing.
