Man dies after Mirror Lake jump

A man has died after he was pulled from Ohio State University's Mirror Lake early on Wednesday morning. He was one of thousands of students there for the annual jump into the lake leading up to the Ohio State-Michigan football game.

The man, who has not been identified, was in cardiac arrest when he was taken from the lake at about 12:20 a.m. on Wednesday. Paramedics treated him and transferred him to the Wexner Medical Center, where a university administration official said he died Wednesday morning.
