This Day in History: On 10 April 2018, Kyle Plush, 16, died after becoming trapped in his Honda Odyssey, which was in his school's parking lot in Cincinnati, Ohio. Attempting to reach his tennis equipment, he leaned over the third row of seats into the trunk. When the seats "squashed his chest", he became pinned and later died. During the incident, he called 911 twice, by using Apple iPhone's Siri voice-activation. Responding to the calls, the police were not able to find him; he was eventually discovered in the vehicle by his father about six hours later.
An investigation into the death revealed that the 911 operator failed to communicate with the responding officers.
The family of Kyle Plush has reached a $6 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Cincinnati.
