SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – An uncle of a Notre Dame student who died filming the school’s football practice when a hydraulic lift toppled last October says the family is pleased the school is installing remote-controlled cameras to make sure such an accident never happens again.
Mike Miley says the family of Declan Sullivan hopes other schools will follow Notre Dame’s lead.
Notre Dame announced Tuesday that it will no longer use lifts for videographers at football practices. The Indiana Occupational Health and Safety Administration is investigating what caused the lift holding Sullivan to fall as he filmed practice Oct. 27.
Miley says the family also is pleased with the university’s efforts to memorialize Sullivan, saying they have been in talks with school officials. Notre Dame has said the school is committed to memorializing Sullivan.
