West Virginian 13-year-old Cohen Craddock died in hospital on Aug. 24 after sustaining a head injury he received during football practice.

On Friday, Cohen was playing defense when he collided with teammates during practice, fell to the ground, and hit his head, causing his brain to swell, his father, Ryan Craddock, told CNN. During the ride to hospital, Cohen had trouble breathing, leading to low oxygen levels that resulted in brain death, added Craddock.
