If there’s any truth to the description of the workout, the coaches are toast. Sorry but this wouldn’t be the first kid with an unknown health problem. With early season workouts in the unseasonably warm temps we’ve had in Central Florida, it was completely predictable, albeit in hindsight. The teammates also should have shouted out, “hey coach, I don’t think he’s faking it.” Were there no trainers on the field, no pre-workout briefing then or previously on signs of heat stroke and other forms of distress? Nope, we need an urban flood warning for all the saliva flowing from the local lawyers hearing this.
You are right about that. Still, I think this kid would have died no matter what kind of practice they had. He had some issues that were going to happen with physical activity, it was obviously only a matter of time. If not during practice, it would have happened during a game or some other time like working out. It's so terribly sad. No one should die at such a young age. I feel for his parents.
