New Gotham High Football Player Collapses During Practice, Dies In Hospital Gazette Wires
NEW GOTHAM CITY -- Thomas Chambliss, 17, died at 5:34 p.m. yesterday afternoon at St. Vincent's Hospital. A lineman on the New Gotham High School football team, he was rushed to the hospital after collapsing during football practice at the school earlier that afternoon. Doctors later ruled the cause of death to be a combination of heatstroke-induced heart failure and acute dehydration.
Principal Donald Martin issued the following statement late yesterday afternoon: "The faculty, students, and staff all wish to extend their condolences and prayers to the Chambliss family during this time of sorrow. Tom Chambliss's death was truly a tragic, unfortunate accident. All of us here at New Gotham High School are mourning the loss of one of our own."
The Chambliss family had no comment as of yesterday afternoon.
Encrypted Journal Entry -- Barbara Gordon October 4th Three separate incidents of random violence -- all involving football players. Now, a player has died on the field. Accident? After all that has happened recently, I'm not so sure. In my opinion, this "accident" merits further investigation.
