An eighth grader in West Virginia died Saturday from football practice injuries, just three days after the first day of school.
Cohen Craddock, 13, a student at Madison Middle School, had sustained a head injury during practice with his team, the Redhawks, on Friday and was taken to a hospital, where he died Saturday, the Boone County Ambulance Authority said.
Ryan Craddock, Cohen’s father, told NBC News on Tuesday that his son collided with some other kids, fell and hit his head on his way down.
"That created brain swelling, which started a snowball effect, which ultimately led to him passing away," Craddock said.
