According to multiple reports, a Kansas high school football player has died just days after a medical emergency.

KMBC reported that a Shawnee Mission Northwest High School football player suffered an unspecified medical emergency following an offseason conditioning workout on Wednesday and then died on Friday.

According to an email sent to the student body and their families on Friday, the deceased football player was sophomore Ovet Gomez Regalado.

KSHB stated that he was 15 years old.

“Death is always difficult to cope with, but especially when someone dies so young,” wrote school principal Dr. Lisa Gruman, according to KMBC. “It’s important to recognize that we all need time to process what has happened and express our feelings. Your child may have difficulty understanding this death. Please encourage your child to express their feelings and talk to them about what happened.”

In addition, the Shawnee Mission Northwest Football Booster Club released a statement regarding the death of Gomez Regalado.

“Our football family has suffered the tragic loss of a loved one,” the statement said. “We were informed this morning of the passing of Ovet Gomez Regalado. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, teammates and coaches. We know many of you would like to find a way to support the family and honor his memory. We will work with the school district to support their efforts and keep you informed of any opportunities that arise.”

This news came just days after a 14-year-old Alabama football player died suddenly after collapsing during practice.

According to KMBC, the Shawnee Mission Northwest football team was supposed to begin training for the 2024 season on Monday.
