Phillip Caler, 16, of Booker, Texas, was reportedly in Indianapolis for the FFA convention, when he sat on the handrail of the third story in the Circle Centre Mall.

Responding medical professionals stated the next 72 hours are going to be the most critical. Police officials believe there was no foul play involved in the accident.
