COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A woman who fell from the stands to her death during an Ohio State University graduation ceremony last weekend has been identified as a resident of Georgia, authorities announced Tuesday.
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office said Larissa Brady, 53, was pronounced dead at the scene just outside Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Sunday.
An investigation continues into how Brady fell from the stadium, which the school says is 136 feet high, onto the sidewalk below.
It happened around noon, near the stadium bell tower, as the last graduates were entering the stadium. According to the graduation program, Brady’s daughter was among the graduates.
The ceremony continued without any mention of what had happened, but some students and others at the ceremony were visibly upset after the fall. A spokesperson said the university had contacted all graduates and staff who volunteered upon graduation to offer counseling services.
