Georgia woman identified as person killed in fall at Ohio State graduation ceremony

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A woman who fell to her death during a graduation ceremony at Ohio State University last weekend has been identified as a Georgia resident. The Franklin County Coroner’s Office says 53-year-old Larissa Brady was pronounced dead at the scene on Sunday, just below the stands, which the school says are 136 feet high. An investigation is ongoing. Brady’s daughter was among those graduating. The commencement continued without mention of what happened, but some students and others at the ceremony were visibly upset. An Ohio State University spokesman said the university has contacted all graduates and staff who volunteered at graduation to offer counseling services.
