Coroner: OSU Student Died Of Neck And Back Injuries After Jumping Into Mirror Lake

Ohio State University

The Franklin County coroner's final autopsy report shows the Ohio State University student who died accidentally after diving into Mirror Lake in November was killed by severe head and neck injuries. The report also shows 22-year-old Austin Singletary had consumed marijuana and alcohol before jumping into the shallow water. After the death Ohio State said it will end the tradition held annually before the football game against Michigan. School officials have not said how. The Student Government General Assembly has also backed ending the event.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
