MASON, Ohio — Two days after his death, those who knew Cincinnati Open intern Joshua Darst told us he touched the lives of many people — even in his short time with the tournament.

Mason police said first responders were called to the Lindner Family Tennis Center just before 11 p.m. Monday, the day of the finals, for a man who fell off a cart near the facility's loading dock. That man, later identified as Darst, was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
