COLUMBUS, Ohio — A person died at Ohio Stadium Sunday after falling from the stands during Ohio State University’s graduation ceremony.
University spokesman Ben Johnson had few additional details. He said police and other emergency responders are on scene. The university will make counseling and other support resources available to those affected by it, Johnson said.
An eyewitness told the Columbus Dispatch, which has reporters on scene, that the person fell just as the final graduates were filing past the area where the fall occurred. The commencement ceremony’s speakers did not reference the incident, the Dispatch reported.
WBNS TV, citing Columbus police, reported that medics declared the person dead at 12:25 p.m. The ceremony was scheduled to begin at 12 p.m. and last for two and a half to three hours, according to OSU officials.
This breaking story will be updated as additional details become available.

Maybe not exactly this, but I would be willing to bet that a cellphone was involved.

Graduations are extremely boring. It may have been suicide.

Some of those arenas during graduation make me dizzy and physically sick. SELA's was one. The decline looking down was steep and it was hot af with little to no AC in May. I had to leave my seat to stand outside.
