Alan Burdziak, Columbia Tribune:
A memorial service is planned for 10 a.m. Thursday at The Crossing church, 3615 Southland Drive in Columbia.
Columbia Fire Chief Charles Witt said at a news conference Saturday that Britt became entrapped after a section of an outdoor, second-floor walkway collapsed.
Other details are scant as investigators piece together what happened. University police Capt. Brian Weimer said his department closed its investigation after foul play was ruled out based on an examination of the scene and witness interviews.
MU is responsible for inspecting all of its buildings. Basi said the complex, which was built in the mid-1950s, was inspected in the last couple of years, but he had not been able to determine an exact date. MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin said Saturday that all buildings on campus and all buildings owned or leased by the university will be inspected and that residential inspections were underway.
