The parents of Kyle Plush, a 16-year-old who suffocated in his minivan despite making multiple 911 calls for help, will be allowed to continue their wrongful death lawsuit against police officers, call-takers and the former city manager involved in the incident. The case will go to trial, despite the the city of Cincinnati's effort to have it dismissed entirely.
The Ohio First District Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that all five of the individual defendants â former city manager Harry Black, call-takers Amber Smith and Stephanie Magee, and officers Edsel Osborn and Brian Brazile â had demonstrated neglect, recklessness and indifference to Plushâs safety at the time of his death.
