Feb. 15, 2008
Tevin Park-Flowers, 7, was found hanging by his shirt on a bathroom clothing hook

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.
