Comfest Fatality Was Accidental

10 TV: Further investigation has revealed that the stabbing death of an Ohio University student at this past weekend's Community Festival was not criminal in nature, police said Monday. Police also said that Bryan Barbin's death is being ruled accidental by the Franklin County Coroner's Office, pending the completion of lab results.

Barbin,18, was stabbed multiple times Saturday evening at the festival known as ComFest. The three-day event is held annually at Goodale Park, located just north of downtown. Witnesses said they saw two people on the ground and it looked like they were wrestling…

Barbin, 18, was transported to Grant Medical Center, where he died shortly after midnight. Police detained and questioned a teenager who was with Barbin. Police later released him without pressing charges.
