Georgia football player’s death stuns school district
Fulton grad critical after collapsing in Tennessee college game
Pike County High School officials posted this picture of Dylan Thomas on its website. Thomas, 17, died Sept. 30, 2018, two days after suffering an injury on the football field.
A Middle Georgia school district said Monday it’s trying to piece together what caused the death of a high school student who was hospitalized Friday while playing a football game.
Pike County High School junior Dylan Thomas, 17, who died Sunday evening, suffered a brain injury, officials said. But what caused that injury is a mystery.
