Urban Explorer in Critical Condition After 20-Story Fall from Abandoned Minneapolis Grain Elevator Ash Ranallo, an 18-year-old urban explorer, is fighting for his life after a severe fall from a disused grain elevator in Minneapolis. His mother, Nicole Emery, shared updates on her son's condition while authorities and residents express concern over frequent trespassing incidents in the area. An 18-year-old urban explorer, Lilly Maria 'Ash' Ronallo-Korbel, who goes by the name Ash Ranallo and uses male pronouns, is in critical condition after falling approximately 20 stories from the abandoned Checkerboard Grain Elevator in Minneapolis on Monday around 8:30 p.m. Ash and a group of others were trespassing inside the disused property when he plunged from the structure, landing on a beam outside. The Minneapolis Fire Department responded by using a truck ladder to reach him and provided emergency medical care before transporting him to a local hospital. Sgt. Garrett Parten of the Minneapolis Police Department described the incident as a 'bad decision that resulted in life-threatening injuries,' adding that it is miraculous Ash is still alive.According to his mother, Nicole Emery, Ash's heart stopped for about 20 minutes upon arrival at the hospital, and he has since undergone multiple surgeries, including procedures to address severe internal injuries, broken bones, and dislocated parts of his shoulder. He has required multiple blood transfusions and is currently on life support in the ICU. Ash remains unresponsive to pain or commands and is heavily sedated, his mother shared in updates.Doctors have performed surgeries to stabilize fractures in his legs, clean out pooled blood in his abdomen, and address a broken collar bone. His abdomen remains open with a protective barrier to avoid further surgical interventions, and a feeding tube has been inserted. Prior to the incident, Ash was an active figure in urban exploration, documenting his adventures on social media, including climbing tall buildings without safety equipment. His mother expressed her devastation, stating, 'I am shattered.This is my worst nightmare. I do not want Ash in pain, and I am scared of losing my precious and beautiful child.' A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support Ash and his family during this challenging time, with descriptions of him as a talented artist, dedicated worker, and someone with an infectious smile.
