GRAND LEDGE, Mich. (AP) — Officials say an incoming high school freshman has died after losing consciousness during a football workout in mid-Michigan.

Grand Ledge Public Schools Superintendent Brian Metcalf says in a statement that Everson Guild died Monday after losing consciousness in the Grand Ledge High School weight room. Coaches and school staff used an automatic external defibrillator in an attempt to save him.

Metcalf says the boy, whose age wasn’t immediately released, was participating in a “voluntary, routine football workout.” Cause of death was under investigation.

Counseling was being made available to students Tuesday in Grand Ledge, which is located near Lansing. Metcalf says: “Words cannot begin to express our sorrow over the loss of this young man.”
