A 7-year-old girl died on the school bus. Police are searching for answers
The coroner said there were no traumatic injuries, while Cincinnati Public Schools’ crisis team supports students and staff during the investigation.
On Wednesday, Police launched a death investigation after 7-year-old Ngone Talla, a student at Roselawn Condon School, died while riding home on a bus in Cincinnati.
Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Sammarco reported Ngone had cerebral palsy, a condition the Mayo Clinic describes as affecting movement, balance and posture; the coroner noted her death appears natural.
Ngone's sister, 12-year-old Marema Talla, was on the bus and found her sister unresponsive in her wheelchair after the vehicle arrived along Colerain Avenue.
Bus operator First Student expressed condolences and stated they are cooperating with the active investigation, while father Abdoul Talla questioned the level of supervision provided to students.
Cincinnati Public Schools deployed their Crisis Response Unit to the Roselawn Condon community to support students and employees as the district addresses the loss of the student.
