Actor in Ohio Christmas show dies in 25-foot fall

I wonder if any charges are going to be brought up against the church in this one if they find that the cable that suspended Shryock was not supposed to be holding up a person. I think is is right though that they have canceled the rest of their shows. I don't think anyone would have wanted to participate in the rest of them, and plus who would want to try and replace the actor. That just wouldn't be right.

A spokeswoman at a Cincinnati mega-church says a Christmas pageant actor who fell about 25 feet during the show's opening night performance has died.

Crossroads Community Church says 23-year-old Keri Shryock died Thursday morning at University Hospital. A church spokeswoman says Shryock was a graduate student at Xavier University.

Shryock was playing the role of a wise man in a contemporary Nativity story and was suspended by an overhead cable when she fell Wednesday night. A spokeswoman for the church says it's not clear how the accident happened.

The church says it has canceled the 10 remaining performance of the Christmas show.
