Ex-Kearney Catholic Coach Dead Just a Day After Child Abuse Charges Go Public
By Andrea Braswell
[with video] A former Kearney Catholic High School golf coach facing charges of child abuse and enticement is dead following an early morning crash. According to the Sherman County Sheriff's Office, Shawn Dowse was driving a pickup west along Highway 2 when he hit a large straight truck going east. The crash happened just two miles west of Hazard around 8:30 a.m. A Nebraska State Patrol accident reconstruction team was on the scene, as well as the Litchfield Fire Department. Last week prosecutors filed three charges against Dowse that included child abuse, enticement by electronic device, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Dowse's death occurred just a day after his charges went public. The mother of the man driving the other vehicle says he is recovering at CHI Health Good Samaritan in Kearney. Kearney Catholic administrators told students today about Dowse's death. He coached golf in the district last season.
