Feb 15, 2008 11:19 AM
Tevin Park-Flowers, the 7-year-old who died after a teacher found him hanging
by his shirt on a clothing hook at a Austin, Texas, charter school, probably
became accidentally trapped on the hook while possibly reaching, jumping or
running. Police say there is no evidence that Tevin was assaulted and that it is
"highly unlikely" that another child or staff member at the Magnolia
McCullough Elementary campus of Not Your Ordinary School placed him
on the hook.
