Memorial service held for victims of deadly duck boat accident

BRANSON, Missouri -- A memorial service was held Sunday for the people killed when a tourist boat sank in a Missouri lake.

The service was at the College of the Ozarks, near Table Rock Lake, where the duck boat sank Thursday, killing 17 people. The accident happened as winds approached hurricane strength.

Nine of the people who died were part of one Indiana family. Online fundraisers had raised more than $400,000 for their funeral expenses by Sunday afternoon.
