Death of Kyle Plush

Epic card · No. 5180

On April 10, 2018, Kyle Jacob Plush, a 16‑year‑old student at Seven Hills School in Cincinnati, Ohio, died after becoming trapped in the rear compartment of his family's 2004 Honda Odyssey, which was parked in the school's lot. While pinned inside the vehicle, he placed two 911 calls reporting that he could not free himself and giving information intended to help responders locate him. Officers were dispatched to the school but did not find the van, and Plush was later discovered by his father. His death, ruled accidental and caused by asphyxia from chest compression, led to scrutiny of the city's emergency communications system, a review of police and dispatcher actions, and the creation of a nonprofit foundation established by his family to support improvements in 911 services.
