A cement block wall that was under construction was blown over by a wind gust and fell on Thompson who was killed by the impact. There was no school today at Northeast Hamilton due to Good Friday.

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the State Fire Marshall are investigating the incident.
