Ohio State moves to end annual lake jump after student dies

CINCINNATI (AP) Ohio State University says it will move to end an annual jump into a campus lake after a third-year student experienced a fatal medical emergency while participating in the tradition.

A statement from university President Michael Drake says the student pulled from Mirror Lake early Wednesday morning was Austin Singletary, of Dayton.

Columbus police say he had a cardiac emergency. He died later at a hospital.

The jump has been held every year before the rivalry football game against Michigan. A university statement says the tragedy occurred despite efforts to make it safer.

The statement says university leaders agree they'll work with the campus community to end the student-led event.
