Person at Ohio State graduation ceremony falls to death from stands
A person died after falling from the stadium stands during Ohio State University’s graduation ceremony on Sunday.
Around 12:30 p.m., an officer called for help over OSU’s police radio, according to The Columbus Dispatch: “I need medics and some officers at gate 30 [of Ohio Stadium]… had one fall off the stadium.”
Medics declared the person dead at 12:25 p.m., WSBN TV reported. It is unclear whether the unnamed person was a student at the university or what caused them to fall several stories to their death.
“An individual fell from the stands. They are deceased,” OSU spokesperson Ben Johnson told the outlet. “We have no additional details to share at this time. Police and emergency responders are on scene. For anyone affected by today’s incident, we will make counseling and other support resources available.”

The ceremony, which began at noon, continued uninterrupted. Commencement speakers did not mention the incident. As students left the ceremony, they reportedly walked past the area where the body fell, which was still cordoned off with yellow police tape.
Ohio State University did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It's official: Tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches, an Indiana judge rules
- Restaurateur Martin Quintana has won a legal battle to open his second The Famous Taco restaurant in Fort Wayne.
- Initially restricted to a “sandwich bar-style” concept, Quintana sued to include Mexican-style food like tacos and burritos.
- Judge Craig Bobay ruled in Quintana’s favor, saying that tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches.
An Indiana judge who declared that “tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches” has cleared the way for the opening of a new restaurant, delighting a restaurateur following a legal battle.
Martin Quintana, 53, has been trying for about three years to open his second The Famous Taco location in Fort Wayne, a city about 120 miles northeast of Indianapolis.
But the initial written commitment for the development at a plaza Quintana owns limits the business to “a sandwich bar-style restaurant whose primary business is to sell ‘made-to-order’ or ‘subway-style’ sandwiches.”

Quintana said the nearby Covington Creek Association contacted him to say that his The Famous Taco proposal “somehow ran afoul” to that commitment.
He sued the Fort Wayne Plan Commission in December 2022 after it denied his proposed amendment that would specifically allow his restaurant to offer made-to-order tacos, burritos and other Mexican-style food items, The Journal Gazette reported.
Allen Superior Court Judge Craig Bobay ruled Monday that the plan commission acted correctly when it denied Quintan’s proposed amendment. But the judge also found that his request was not needed and he found that the original commitment allows restaurants like the proposed The Famous Taco.
“The Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches, and the original Written Commitment does not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine-style sandwiches,” Bobay wrote.
Quintana said Thursday he is relieved the legal fight is over, and he is looking forward to opening his second The Famous Taco restaurant in Fort Wayne, which is Indiana’s second-most populous city with about 270,000 residents.
“I’m glad this thing is over. We are happy. When you have a decision like this the only thing you can be is happy. We’re excited,” he told The Associated Press.
Quintana said he came to the U.S. from Mexico in 1988, working first as a farm worker in California picking grapes, olives and kiwi fruit before entering the restaurant business in Michigan before moving to Chicago and finally Fort Wayne in 2001. He also operates a second restaurant in the city.
Quintana said his new family-owned The Famous Taco restaurant should open in two or three months. He said that like his other The Famous Taco location that opened nearly seven years ago, customers will be able choose their favored toppings for tacos, burritos or tortas assembled by eatery staff.
“You know, that’s a sandwich, that’s bread. That’s a sandwich,” he said of tortas. “We go through a lot of those.”
