More than 45 people were injured and seven lost their lives when the stage collapsed in August at the Indiana State Fair, and RadarOnline.com has just learned the state will be paying out $5 million to the victims and their families.

Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced on Wednesday that the state plans to quickly distribute the money to the victims, which is the maximum amount allowed under Indiana’s government liability law.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, 24-year-old cheerleading coach Meagan Toothman became the seventh death from the stage collapse when she was removed from life support by her family, so they could donate her organs.

The death toll from the Indiana State Fair stage collapse grew to seven Monday afternoon, when 24-year-old Cincinnati cheerleading coach Meagan Toothman was removed from life support, by her family’s request, for the purpose of organ donation, authorities said.

Toothman suffered injuries to her brain in the August 13 calamity, and had been in a medically-induced coma since August 15. She was taken off life support at Indianapolis’ Methodist Hospital Monday at around 3:30 pm CT.

Toothman's family said, via a blog, that her organs "will provide gifts of sight, health and life to dozens who are in need.
