MIAMI – The world's tallest drop ride will be torn down after a teenager fell to his death. 

The Orlando Freefall ride has been closed since March.

14-year-old Tyre Sampson wasn't properly secured into the ride and fell to his death.

The ride had been open for just a few months before the tragic incident.

CBS4 is working to learn when the ride will be torn down.
