Story summary

Ngone Talla, a 7-year-old girl with developmental disabilities and cerebral palsy who used a wheelchair, died on a school bus in Ohio. Her 12-year-old sister found her unresponsive after a roughly 90-minute ride from Roselawn Condon School to their home. The family noticed the bus idling outside their house for about 10-15 minutes, which was unusual. When they boarded the bus, Ngone was discovered lifeless in her wheelchair. She had been trapped by a seat belt, and despite being rushed to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, she passed away later that day. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office confirmed there were no signs of trauma or harm related to her death, suggesting the seat belt incident may have caused her untimely demise due to medical complications from her extensive history with cerebral palsy.
