A 17-year-old boy dies after entering an abandoned skyscraper in New Orleans’ Central Business District at night with friends, according to reports. The accounts describe the building as unsafe, including stairwells without safety railings.
The sources do not provide additional details about what happens inside the structure or the exact circumstances leading to the death. They also do not include information on the investigation, whether charges are filed, or what safety officials determine about the site. Differences in framing across outlets are limited in the material provided, but the common focus is on the entry into a condemned or abandoned high-rise and the associated hazards, particularly the lack of railing on stairways.
