Mississippi State on Wednesday announced that a freshman offensive lineman has died.
Samuel Westmoreland, 19, of Tupelo, Mississippi was an industrial technology major. Athletics Director John Cohen said the Bulldogs are heartbroken by the sudden loss of Westmoreland.
“Mississippi State is a family, and we are all mourning during this trying time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Westmoreland family and everyone who knew and loved Sam,” Cohen said.
The statement also noted that the university is working cooperatively with the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office, the Oktibbeha County Coroner’s Office, the MSU Division of Student Affairs, and the MSU Athletics Department to determine the facts of this incident and will have no further comment until that assessment is completed.
MSU Head Football Coach Mike Leach said: “The Mississippi State Athletics Family is heartbroken by the sudden death of Sam Westmoreland. Sam was a beloved son, brother and teammate, and a tremendous young man with a limitless future. He will always be remembered and deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him. The entire MSU Family mourns as our thoughts and prayers go out to the Westmoreland family. Our highest priority is the support of the Westmoreland family and our student-athletes during this troubling time.”
From a previous article, this “suddenly” is most likely a suicide.
The scientist in me craves more data on such tragic deaths; the American in me is infuriated at their efforts to both assault our youths and hide the facts from public review.
My thoughts as well. Sounds like he went to the steps of a church and did it. If this is the actual scenario, his last act was an attempt to to seek God’s help and love.
Suicide by Covid-19 vaccine booster?
I don’t want to say it was the vaxx but......
Either that or steroids.
So very heartbreaking. RIP
Making many grown men cry, whole life ahead. Lord bless and keep the family and friends.
