The autopsy results revealed that a vehicle ran over Macie Hill during a parade in Kaysville, causing the injuries that led to her death.

Police have announced that they will not file charges in the death of 8-year-old Macie Hill, who was killed during Kaysville’s July 4 parade earlier this year.

The investigation into Hill’s death found no wrongdoing by the driver of the vehicle that ran over her or by the parade organizers or anyone else involved.

According to a police report, Hill was walking along the passenger side of a trailer that was part of the Patriot Cheer All Stars entry in the parade when the incident occurred. 

Macie Hill autopsy report on the 37-year-old male driver came back “negative with zero findings,” according to Kaysville Police Chief Solomon Oberg.

The investigation revealed that there were no shortcomings or mistakes by parade organizers or anyone else involved.

The front tire rolled over her leg and pulled her under the tires while she was trying to get candy off the trailer. She died later at the hospital.

Macie Hill was a talented dancer, cheerleader, and the youngest child in her family behind three brothers. 

Her death caused grief and mourning throughout the entire community, with many remembering her cheerful spirit. 

Following her death, pink ribbons lined Hill’s neighborhood, and outside the elementary school, she attended.

Macie Hill autopsy report disclosed the cause of her death. Hill’s family bishop, Ryan Dopp, said, “She was the baby, she was princess of their family.” 

Dopp also shared that Macie’s favorite things to do were dance and cheer and that she died doing what she loved, which was being with her teammates and cheering.

Asked if there would be any changes to future events in Kaysville based on what happened during the parade, Oberg didn’t specify. 

However, the parade committee met and will continue to meet about implementing changes and alternatives to increase safety at the parade, as mentioned by him.

Following the incident, other Utah cities examined their parade rules to ensure the safety of viewers and participants. 

Farmington issued new rules for its Farmington Festival Days Parade that no longer allowed anyone to leave a parade entry once the event had started.
