SCOTRUN, PENNSYLVANIA — A tragic incident at the Great Wolf Lodge resort in the Pocono Mountains has claimed the lives of Charles Harrison and his 3-year-old son, leaving their family and loved ones facing an unimaginable loss.
According to reporting by WGAL and CBS Philadelphia, the father and child were found dead inside a guest room at the resort on Monday, October 12, 2026. Court documents cited by news outlets indicate that both suffered fatal stab wounds. Authorities are investigating the incident as a double homicide.
Father and young son found inside resort room
According to the criminal complaint described in media reports, Pocono Township police officers responded to a guest room at the Great Wolf Lodge after a call for assistance involving a woman in distress.
Officers subsequently discovered Charles Harrison and his young son inside the room. Court documents reportedly state that Charles had multiple stab wounds to his chest, while the child had a single stab wound to the chest.
The deaths have brought attention to a deeply distressing incident involving a father and a child whose life had only just begun. Further details about the family’s private life have not been included here out of respect for those affected.
Woman charged in connection with the deaths
News reports citing court documents identify Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, as the person charged in connection with the deaths of her husband and son.
She reportedly faces two counts of criminal homicide. The allegations are part of an ongoing criminal case and have not been established through a trial. The defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Authorities have not publicly established a motive in the information reviewed. The investigation and legal proceedings remain separate from the family’s grief and the loss of two lives.
Great Wolf Lodge responds.
A spokesperson for Great Wolf Resorts said the company was deeply saddened by the incident and described it as an isolated family matter. The resort also stated that it was cooperating with local law enforcement.
The statement expressed sympathy for the family and loved ones affected by the tragedy.
Remembering Charles Harrison and his son
The deaths of Charles Harrison and his 3-year-old son represent a profound loss for their loved ones. The loss of a child is especially painful, and the death of a parent and young child in the same incident leaves families facing grief under extraordinarily difficult circumstances.
As the investigation continues, thoughts remain with everyone affected by the tragedy. Further reporting should rely on verified statements from law enforcement and court records, while respecting the privacy of the child and surviving family members.
