SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame said Monday that football staff used out-of-date weather information the day a student videographer fell to his death because of high winds.
Declan Sullivan, a junior from Long Grove, Ill., died when a 40-foot hydraulic lift he was in fell over in a 53 mph wind gust Oct. 27.
The investigation found that staff members likely depended on National Weather Service readings from 1:54 p.m. that day showing 23 mph winds with 29 mph gusts. At 2:54, nearly an hour before practice, the weather service reported 38 mph gusts. The accident was at 4:54.
The school released the details in a report summarizing its investigation into the accident. Peter Likins, an engineer and former University of Arizona president who provided an independent review of the investigation, wrote that no one person was to blame for the accident.
"Several flaws were exposed that need to be acknowledged and addressed," the report said. "Responsibility for these issues is shared by many individuals."
