College football player Reed Ryan had a surprise cardiac arrest while hitting the weights. Despite a strong fight in the ICU, he sadly passed away a week later. His family shared that Reed's death was due to an undetected cardiac condition.
From TMZ:
According to an obituary written by family members, the 6-foot-3, 241-pound defensive end was training in a weight room on Nov. 21 "doing what he loved" ... when he suddenly went into cardiac arrest.
The family says school officials began life-saving measures ... and after they regained the football player's pulse, he was rushed to the ICU. Sadly, he passed away seven days later.
Ryan's family explained in their obituary the medical emergency was all due to "an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart."
"Reed had a contagious smile and lived life to the fullest in his short years," Reed's family wrote. "Reed loved people, he could talk to anyone and prided himself on being surrounded by friends, family, mentors, and being part of a team."
