A young urban explorer has been left in critical condition after falling about twenty stories from an abandoned grain elevator in Minnesota.
Ash Ranallo, whose full name is Lilly Maria 'Ash' Ronallo-Korbel, and several others trespassed inside a disused property known as the Checkerboard Grain Elevator in Minneapolis on Monday around 8.30pm, police said.
The 18-year-old, who goes by male pronouns, landed on a beam outside of the grain elevator after plunging, the Minneapolis Police Department said.
The Minneapolis Fire Department used a truck ladder to reach the Ash and provided medical emergency care at the scene before he was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, officials stated.
'This is an individual out having fun, seeking adventure and made a bad decision that resulted in life-threatening injuries. It is miraculous that [the teen] is alive,' Sgt. Garrett Parten said during a press conference on the incident.
Ash, who appears to frequently participate in daring activities according to his social media pages, is now fighting for his life after his heart stopped for about 20 minutes at the hospital, his mother, Nicole Emery, said in an update on Tuesday.
