KSU student dies from beating injuries

KENT, Ohio (AP) — A Kent State University graduate student has died of injuries that police say were from an off-campus beating last month.

The Summit County medical examiner’s office says 28-year-old John White of Delaware, Ohio, died Sunday afternoon at Akron City Hospital. An autopsy was scheduled today.

One man has been charged with felonious assault and a second has been charged with misdemeanor assault and obstructing official business in the alleged attack.

The victim was the second Kent State student in three months to die from beating injuries suffered in downtown Kent. Two men have been charged in the death of 23-year-old Christopher Kernich of Fairborn, near Dayton.
