Death Records Now

My thoughts go out to this poor kid his friends & his family. ->

Prep star hits game-winning shot for perfect season, falls and dies

Tragedy struck Western Michigan on Thursday night when Fennville (Mich.) High basketball star Wes Leonard hit a game-winning shot in a 57-55, overtime victory over Bridgman (Mich.) High, then collapsed on the court while celebrating the victory and was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly thereafter.

According to the Associated Press, Leonard, who you can see making the game-winning shot above, was celebrating his game-winning layup with the rest of his teammates when he collapsed to the ground. Paramedics tried CPR on the star at the site and in the ambulance, but he was pronounced dead upon reaching nearby Holland Hospital.

The star’s death was due to an enlarged heart, Ottawa County medical examiner David A. Smart told ABC News after concluding an autopsy on the player’s body on Friday.

"Obviously, in the midst of celebration, I think shocking is exactly the word," Fennville Superintendent Dirk Weeldreyer told The Holland Sentinel about Leonard’s collapse.

Making matters even more disorienting for Fennville fans were the events that transpired just before Leonard’s death. The junior — who was also the quarterback of the school’s football team last fall — not only hit the winning shot in the team’s final regular-season game, but by doing so he also ensured that the Blackhawks would finish with a perfect, 20-0 record.

"It’s tough to take in," Leonard’s teammate Shane Bale told The Sentinel. "It’s like somebody from your family, you know?"

What a devastating tragedy.. it really makes you think. I knew a kid who loved the game and died while playing it. He was my age (16) and he finally got into the school that he had been dreaming to attend. His passion, talent, skills and love for the game got him a spot on the team. He wanted to lead his team to the championship, but he passed away during practice due to cardiac arrest. To honor him, his team set their goal to win the championship for him and they did!

Gov Brewer on Fox News talking Immigration New theories in rancher’s deathby Alex Stone/ABC News (March 30th, 2010 @ 2:34pm) Policy >> Comments:9 PHOENIX – There are new theories about the murder of a southern Arizona rancher who was found shot to death on his ATV. His dog was critically wounded by gunfire.

At this point police believe it was an illegal immigrant who killed Robert Krentz.

Dogs have tracked the shooter into Mexico, but then the trail goes cold.

Police are now working on theories that include the shooter may have been a drug cartel scout or a band of thieves terrorizing Arizona ranches.

Police admit if the shooter lives in Mexico, identify the trigger-person is almost impossible.

Governor Jan Brewer and Open-borders Sen. Johnny Come Lately McCain, in the political battle of his life, is now calling for the National Guard. Don’t read his lips. Read his border security-undermining, law enforcement-abandoning record. Senator John McCain are among a growing number of state leaders calling for more border security

Thank you for calling attention to the murder of the Arizona rancher. This is not an isolated problem. Families who have farmed and ranched on the US/Mexico border for over a hundred years. For many years, we farmed along side those on the other side of the border. Most people who crossed our properties were not a threat, but that has long since changed. We now find ourselves faced with a government that feels the issue is not significant, as well as our neighbors in the city who are more concerned about “immigrants rights” than our safety. While Bush’s fence project had a lot of problems, the section that crosses our property created a significant deterrent. Traffic decreased from over a hundred per day to a handful per week. The cartels don’t care how they get access to your property. If they can’t buy you out, they will kill you and your family.

Welcome to Africa,same way the White Ranchers there lost their income. lifes,homes.Constant harassment,called racists.Just going to get worse,while our Politicians wring their hands when you talk to them and fill their coffers when your back is turned.Common Napolitano, OPEN your eyes!! Now that you are living in one of the most protected areas of the country did you forget how dangerous it is out here, where you policies are failing the people of this country?!!
