College basketball player Kaiden Francis dead at 18 after collapsing on campus
University of Mobile (Ala.) freshman Kaiden Francis died Tuesday at the age of 18 after collapsing on campus, school President Charles Smith announced in a letter to faculty, staff and students.
Francis was found “unresponsive” after his weekly skills workout with the schools’s coaching staff and trainers, spokesperson Kathy Dean told the Associated Press.
A cause of death has not yet been released, per the report.
Smith praised the “quick and heroic efforts of students and medical professionals” and said “our hearts are heavy as we process this tragedy.”
The school canceled classes Wednesday and held a vigil that day, along with postponing Wednesday’s and this upcoming Saturday’s games.
