College football player died after on-field medical emergency, school says no prior health issues
Interim president Drew Van Horn said the 20-year-old running back MicahJo Barnett had no documented medical conditions before he collapsed during a game at Greene Stadium in Liberty, Missouri, on August 29, and that an autopsy will determine the cause of death. Barnett, a junior running back, suffered a seizure-like episode on the sideline of the season-opening match against Fort Lewis College and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, prompting the postponement of the contest and plans for a vigil.
