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.
