Under the order, flags are lowered upon all public buildings and grounds throughout Ottawa County, as well as at the Ohio Statehouse, the Vern Riffe Center and the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus, and will remain lowered until sunset on the day of Roesler's funeral.
All other public buildings and grounds throughout the state may fly the U.S. and Ohio flags at half-staff at their discretion for the same period, the announcement said. The governor's office did not state a cause of death in the announcement.
