New details have emerged about the tragedy with the 14-year-old boy who plummeted to his death from an Orlando amusement park ride this week.
As we previously reported, the teenager – who has since been identified as Tyre Sampson – passed away after falling out of his seat on the 430-foot Orlando Free Fall attraction at ICON Park on Thursday evening. Following the horrific incident, John Stine, a spokesperson for Slingshot Group, which owns and operates the ride in question, said in a statement that the boy appeared to have been on a safety harness on the ride at the time. However, that may not have been the case…

Tyre’s father Yarnell Sampson says the teen knew something was wrong and started panicking as soon as the ride began to ascend. He told Fox 35 on Friday:
According to Yarnell, Tyre then chilling told one of his friends:
Heartbreaking…
This description of Tyre’s fears backs what someone also detailed in a 911 call after the tragedy. According to an audio recording obtained by The New York Post, the person told the operator that they believed the ride staff had not secured Tyre’s safety harness properly, saying:
Yarnell also told Fox 35 that the attraction was the only one who allowed his 6-foot-5-inch, 340-pound son on – which he found suspicious:
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating his death at this time. Yarnell has since retained civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump, who has represented the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. And now the devastated dad just wants answers as to what happened and why they never stopped the ride, expressing:
So terrible what happened here.

Chris Willman Music WriterOlivia Rodrigo would appear to be close to a shoo-in for several Grammys, but when it comes to what’s generally considered the most prestigious prize, album of the year, there’s a serious competitor packing heat, and he’s old enough to be her grandfather’s grandfather.Rodrigo has a decent shot at winning the Grammys’ quadruple crown, for album, record, song and new artist of the year, just as another teen, Billie Eilish, did two years ago. Tony Bennett is the likeliest spoiler, however, of the 19-year-old’s shot at grabbing all the Grammy glory her first time out of the gate.
