Ohio State: Man Pulled From Lake Jump Has Died

Ohio State University says a man with a medical emergency had to be pulled from a campus lake where students were gathered for the annual lake jump held before the Ohio State-Michigan football game. 

City police dispatchers say the man was in cardiac arrest when he was pulled from Mirror Lake early Wednesday morning. The university released a statement shortly after 10 this morning saying the man has died. Students annually jump into the lake on the Tuesday night before the two universities' football matchup. OSU Public Safety Director Vernon Baisden said the university was asking for help in identifying the man. He's described as African American with a medium build and tattoos on his left upper chest and right upper arm.
