UT student among 3 who drowned in Porsche

IRVING - A University of Texas student and her boyfriend have been identified as victims of a sports car crash into a Dallas-area canal that left three people dead.

Irving police say the victims were 21-year-old Kaat Debeuckelaer of Austin, 23-year-old Kenneth Lark of Austin, plus the driver, 41-year-old lawyer Ronald Eddins of Southlake. The woman was a UT senior, originally from Colleyville.

Police believe speed was a factor in the single-vehicle accident before dawn Wednesday.

Maintenance personnel Wednesday afternoon noticed a broken guard rail at the Las Colinas Canal. A search led to the submerged Porsche with two bodies inside.

Investigators later received information that a third person might have been in the car. Divers on Thursday found Lark's body in the water.

Toxicology results are pending.
