Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A heartbreaking incident unfolded at Ohio State University last weekend as a woman tragically fell from the stands to her death during the graduation ceremony. The 53-year-old woman, whose daughter was receiving her diploma, was identified by the Franklin County Coroner’s Office. She was pronounced dead at the scene, just outside Ohio Stadium in Columbus.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that the death is currently being investigated as an apparent suicide, as indicated by coroner documents. The investigation is ongoing to determine how the woman fell from the 136-foot-tall stadium to the pavement below. Despite this tragic event, Ohio State police do not suspect foul play and believe that the fall was not accidental, according to university spokesperson Ben Johnson.
The heartbreaking incident occurred around midday near the stadium’s Bell Tower, as the last graduates were entering the stadium. The woman’s daughter was among those graduating, adding to the emotional weight of the situation. Despite the tragic event, the commencement ceremony continued without mention of the incident. However, some students and attendees were visibly upset following the fall.
The university has taken steps to provide support to those affected by the incident, reaching out to all graduates and staff who volunteered at the graduation ceremony to offer counseling services. It is crucial to address the emotional impact of such events and provide necessary support to those in need.
