WACO, Texas (AP) - Baylor University says a freshman student has died after
injuring himself by attempting a backflip during a dance rehearsal.
University spokeswoman Lori Fogleman tells the Waco Tribune-Herald
(http://bit.ly/YQTGZE ) that 18-year-old Kevin Signo was rehearsing a dance
Saturday night with other members of a Filipino student group. He tried to do a
backflip during a break in the dance.
A local justice of the peace says Signo landed on his forehead and
critically injured his spine.
He was pronounced dead at about 4 a.m. Sunday.
Signo was from Frisco, Texas, north of Dallas, and studying pre-biology.
His funeral is scheduled for Saturday in nearby Allen.
