The Lantern, the student newspaper of Ohio State, has revealed that one person tragically died after falling from the top of the school’s football stadium. According to reports, the event happened at Ohio Stadium’s Bell Tower.
Ben Johnson, the Ohio State spokesperson, released a comment on the unfortunate event.
“An individual fell from the stands. They are deceased,” he said. “We have no additional details to share at this time. Police and emergency responders are on the scene. For anyone affected by today’s incident, we will make counseling and other support resources available.”
The site where the guy fell was surrounded by a lot of yellow tape, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Students and spectators alike were clearly distressed by what they had seen, according to Jordan Laird of the Dispatch.
