Former University of Central Florida (UCF) football player and Massachusetts native Jake Hescock died suddenly on Tuesday, according to his family.
Hescock, 25, collapsed while jogging in Boston last week, his cousin Lisa Walz Mlynarczyk wrote on a Facebook group dedicated to him.
According to reports, Hescock suffered from cardiac arrest.
“He was given CPR and has been on life support ever since. We were told last night that the damage to his brain from the lack of oxygen is severe,” she wrote.
A passerby found him and provided CPR, and was taken to the hospital.
“A Good Samaritan found him and gave him CPR. He suffered cardiac arrest. He is intubated in ICU. The next 48 to 72 hours are critical [because] they don’t know how long he was not breathing until he was found.”
On Friday, Jake’s mother, Carey Hescock, provided an update on his son.
“Jake currently remains in critical condition,” said Carey. “He remains on a ventilator that is currently breathing for him. He is on a machine that is taking the blood out of his body, oxygenating it and giving it back today. We are hoping for that to be able to be turned off today or tomorrow.”
“His heart function is having small improvements but continues to be much lower than it should be. Our main focus at the moment is at his neurological status. He is sedated, so they are keeping him asleep to allow his body to heel. When the sedation is off we are hoping to see improvements, so far they are minimal but encouraging,” she continued.
On Sunday, Jake’s cousin Lisa provided another update and announced that Jake had passed away.
“It is with a heavy heart that I have to say my cousin Jake has passed on, may he Rest in Peace and forever shine his bright soul down upon us, I’m sure Papa was there waiting for you with open arms….. forever you will be, Lil Jakers! Thank you everyone for your prayers during this difficult time,” she wrote.
UCF Football released a statement stating Jake will be missed by the Knight Nation.
“We are devastated to hear of the passing of Jake Hescock. He was beloved by everyone within Knight Nation. Our deepest condolences go out to everyone who knew Jake. He was taken too soon and will be greatly missed.”
Coach Gus Malzahn honored Hescock on Twitter, saying, “we’re heartbroken to hear of Jake’s passing. He was an incredible person, who embodied what it means to be a UCF Knight. Everyone who knew Jake loved him and he was a blessing to coach.He will be greatly missed. Kristi and I’s prayers are with his whole family.”
Following the tragic news of his passing, Jake has been remembered by hundreds of supporters, friends, and family members.
OH COME ONNNN!!! How long are we going to put up with this before the truth is exposed? Those vaccines ARE killing people!!! It’s getting WORSE
As number 88, he was likely a receiver and fit.
Welp, I guess he followed the science.
There has to be a connection to vax and cardiovascular activity somehow. Why is this question not even being permitted to be asked.
Well vaxxed and boosted and resting eternally.

Lot of miscarriages too with young women. Something is definitely going on.
Bingo.
Yes, for someone at his age to pass like that is extremely rare, yet it’s happening all the time now, every week, and it’s all brushed aside. The Biden occupation knows if they acknowledge this a panic will break out. Instead they are sitting back and allowing people to die.
to the grave.
Because you would not like the answers...............
And figure these reports we are hearing are about people who are fairly well known or notable. How many are dying that we are NOT hearing about?
What I want to know is the excess death rate. People die all the time, young and old, that is nothing new. What is the rate???
20-something athletes dropping over from heart attacks has become the new normal, must be climate change or sumptin’.
But he’s not gonna get Covid anymore!
Why is this question not even being permitted to be asked.
Did you forget to put the “ /sarc “ tag or not acknowledge that your question is rhetorical?
It was okay to ask if you were vaxxed to go to a concert or visit your aging parents but not when you die suddenly
‘Died Suddenly’ film amplifies false Covid-19 vaccine claims
Died Suddenly
Youtube pulled the video, for ‘disinformation’. Kind of like the powers that be telling folks that Ivermectin didn’t work and you couldn’t use it. Even though it does work.
But you can watch it on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v1wac7i-world-premier-died-suddenly.html
And of course, the information from morticians, medical examiners, etc about the stuff being found in arteries. Nothing to see here, move along.
