SEATTLE, WASHINGTON-- A 17-year-old high school football player died on Monday morning in Washington state from injuries suffered during a football game, making him the fourth high school football player in the U.S. to die in the last month due to injuries sustained on a football field.
Kenney Bui was a senior defensive back and wide receiver for Evergreen High School in Seattle. Bui was a student at the Technology and Communications High School, one of three small schools located on the Evergreen campus.
He was injured while making a tackle in the fourth quarter of last Friday night's game against Highline High School at Highline Memorial Field.
Bui suffered a traumatic brain injury from the tackle and paramedics rushed him to Harborview Medical Center.
He underwent surgery but died late Monday morning, Highline Public Schools said in a statement.
Bui's death marks the fourth fatal high school football game injury of the year. Tyrell Cameron of Franklin Parish, LA, suffered a neck injury; Ben Hamm of Bartlesville, OK, had a head injury; and Evan Murray of Warren Hills, NJ suffered a lacerated spleen, according to the Seattle Times.
