A post by the police on X stated that Ludwig, originally from New Jersey, is in an "extremely critical condition."

Belmont University President Greg Jones commented on Ludwig's situation, as reported by ABC News, highlighting her active involvement in the community, particularly her passion for music as a music business major and bass player, as well as her love for outdoor activities such as running.
