Tragic news. So awful, and it happens every year. He is the 2nd one in PCB this spring break.
Prayers to his family and friends.

Damn, this is unfortunate. Prayers to the family and community. I can't say it surprises me though. Panama City Beach is out of control. We were there before for spring break as college students(at least a little more experienced than HS kids) and a local volunteer emergency medical worker told us there are about 15 deaths there per year. Very sad.

Once this kid committed to ND, I knew he would never win a bowl game.

Just saw this. Absolutely horrible. I was looking forward to watching this young man play for the Irish. But that pales in comparison to the life that was lost. I can't imagine what the family is going through. RIP

To be honest, I doubt the whole truth comes out to the public. They'll say it was an accident, but my friends were all just down there for spring break and said a lot of people get really really drunk on the balconys, and so alcohol was probably involved.wes_mantooth wrote: Wow this is terrible.

It's one of the saddest stories I've heard involving death to a young man, especially one with such a bright future, and I feel so terrible not only for his family, but the friends that were down there with him.

The only thing I've seen is that he fell from a 3rd floor hotel balcony. One week shy of his 18th birthday.

This is from WNDU.com
There was mention of an argument.
Very sad, can not imagine what his parents are going through right now, my son is not that much younger.

The article mentioned he was "drunk and belligerent" in the time leading up to the fall. Leaned over the rail too far.

"Witnesses and friends indicate he had become drunk and belligerent," Humphreys [policeman] said. "He had leaned over the balcony rail, was shaking his finger at the people in the next room over. He fell over."

Was about to come post that.
Can't say I was surprised hearing he was drunk.

I figured it was alcohol related, but that doesn't take anything away from this terrible incident.
All that kids can do is learn from incidents like these and just take extra precautions.
