54 year old, Richard Crowser, tragically died after breaking up a fight between two teen girls, that began over a “pair of borrowed designer jeans.” It seems as though the security guard suffered injuries resulting in his death, from the impact of hitting one of the school’s lockers.
HuffPost reports: “According to ABC Chicago, Richard Cowser intervened along with another security officer in a fight between two female students — aged 17 and 18 — at Thornwood High School in South Holland, Ill. before 1 p.m. on Thursday. According to the station, Cowser was injured when he fell or was pushed into a locker during the skirmish and was rushed to the hospital where he later died”
Janet, Cowser’s wife of 21 years, described her husband, who himself was a Thornwood student, as a man who was “always there for me,” NBC Chicago reports.
“He was a great man. He took care of me, he guided me,” Janet told NBC. “He didn’t let us stray and get lost. He was right there, he was the strong one, I was the one who followed right behind him.”
His death is still under investigation and witnesses are further being questioned as well.
