High School Football Player Dead After Game

Andre Jackson was a student athlete at Euclid High School in a town near Cleveland. He was kicked during a kick off play, and walked off the field himself, and was taken to the hospital. He was released the same day, and thought everything was fine. Two days later he went to the hospital again, and was pronounced dead later that day. The cause of death was small bowel laceration and peritonitis. This occurred from a blow to the abdominal area. Although there are rules to prevent certain injuries in football, it still doesn't stop them. Each year about 12 football related deaths occur due to high school and college football.
