Sad story coming from the world of college football.
Nicholas Turner, a junior who played defensive end for Northwest Missouri State University, was found dead in his dorm room on Sunday.
His death is under investigation, but no foul play is suspected.
Turner was supposed to be with his teammates at the Lamkin Activity center on campus celebrating the team’s recent Division II National Championship. Players and coaches were meeting with fans and signing autographs at an event organized by the school.
However, about an hour into the event, coach Adam Dorrell announced via microphone to the crowd that the event needed to end immediately because of “unforeseen circumstances.”
No word at the moment on what was the cause of death, but we will keep you updated.
