YOUNGSTOWN — No charges will be filed in the July death of a musician struck by a vehicle, authorities say.

Lt. Eric Brown of the Canfield Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said the investigation into Sean Ryan Baran’s death has concluded, and the department will not seek charges against Richard Weimer, the driver of the car that struck him.

The report from the July 26 accident shows that Baran, 35, was killed when he stepped into Market Street at Fairview Avenue, near Midlothian Boulevard, and was hit by Weimer’s Volkswagen Jetta.

The case history attached to Baran’s death certificate — issued by the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office on Sept. 30 — states that paramedics found him dead in the road upon their arrival.

Weimer told police he was driving at or below the posted speed limit of 40 mph when Baran ran out in front of his car. There is no stop sign for traffic along Market Street at that intersection.

The certificate states that the cause of death was “blunt force injuries.”

The coroner’s report also shows that the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Officer, which performed the autopsy on Baran, found marijuana compounds in his system.

However, both Brown and officials from the coroner’s and medical examiner’s offices say that does not mean Baran was intoxicated at the time of the crash.

“It’s generally understood that the effects of prescription medications, alcohol, and illicit drugs can vary widely among individuals due to many factors,” said Octavious Jones, an investigator with the Mahoning County Coroner’s office.

“The toxicology findings in isolation won’t be able to tell you the degree of impairment,” said Cuyahoga County toxicologist Luigino Appolonio. “There is a detected and confirmed psychoactive component in the blood (Delta-9 THC), but the other elements are going to determine the degree of impairment.”

He said those elements would include witness statements about the person’s behavior prior to his death. Brown said the investigation did not turn up any evidence to make a determination one way or the other.

“Marijuana can linger in your system for a while. Without having any face to face interaction with the deceased prior to the crash, or sobriety tests, it would be hard to say that this was a factor,” he said.

Baran was well-known and beloved in the Youngstown and regional musical communities. He graduated summa cum laude from Youngstown State University’s Dana School of Music with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in music performance. He served as the organist at Boardman United Methodist Church, and was a resident artist at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center in Midland, Pa., where he ran the piano program for the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School.

His biography on the Boardman United Methodist Church website states that Baran served as secretary of Youngstown Music Teachers Association, vice president of student activities of Ohio Music Teachers Association Middle East District and District 1 Junior Counselor for the Ohio Federation of Music Clubs. He also was a member of the American Guild of Organists and previously served on the executive committee of the Youngstown Chapter.
