Daily Mail reported that a sixteen-year-old high school sophomore from Washington state has died in a tragic sporting accident that saw him being impaled through the eye by a goal post.
Brayden Bahme died on Thursday after the accident at Cheney High School.
It's unclear exactly how the accident occurred, but school officials say he was running during a gym class when his eye was impaled on a section of a goal post.
His family is now fundraising to help pay for his funeral on a GoFundMe page.
'It’s with a heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to Brayden. Our entire family appreciates the outreach of support.
'This go-fund-me will be used to take care of Brayden’s final burial arrangements and immediate needs of the family.
'All remaining funds will be used for a youth fishing program in honor of Brayden “fish pockets” Bahme,' a description on the page read.
Some of his teammates returned to the football field this week to pay tribute to him along with his mother, Heather.
In a Facebook post, Brayden's heartbroken aunt Holly said: 'It’s with a heavy heart that we share with our family, friends and Cheney high school community that Heaven gained an angel last night.
This poor family. You send your kids to school and always believe they’ll be safe and come home at the end of the day, it’s hard to imagine the type of shock and grief they’re dealing with, especially given what a freak accident this was.
