Times Wire Reports

Cincinnati police concluded that equipment failure caused an aerial performer’s fatal fall during a Christmas pageant.

Keri Shryock, 23, fell about 25 feet to a concrete floor during Wednesday’s opening night performance at Crossroads Community Church and died a few hours later.

Because Shryock was a volunteer, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not have jurisdiction, an agency official said.
