Posted : admin On 4/6/2022DALLAS (AP) — Ty Jordan, a star freshman running back for the University of Utah, died at a Dallas-area hospital after accidently shooting himself, authorities said Sunday.
University officials announced Jordan’s death Saturday, a day after he was named Pac-12’s newcomer of the year, but did not release details.
Jordan, 19, died in an emergency room at a hospital in Denton around 10:45 p.m. on Christmas Day, according to medical examiner’s records.
Police officers had responded about an hour earlier to reports of a shooting at a home in Denton, a city 40 miles (64 kilometers) northeast of downtown Dallas. The officers found a man had accidently shot himself in the hip and began giving first aid, Denton police spokeswoman Allison Beckwith told The Associated Press Saturday. She said the man later died at a hospital and that investigators did not know how he came to shoot himself.
Similar to most sports, injury rates tend to be higher in beginners rather than amateurs and professionals. Soft tissue injuries are the most common form of injury in muay Thai, comprising between 80–90% of all injuries. These injuries are caused by repeated trauma to soft parts of the body.

Beckwith declined to identify the man by name, but online case records from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s on Sunday showed it was Jordan.
Jordan’s cause of death is listed as “gunshot wound of abdomen” in the records. His manner of death has not yet been released and officials with the medical examiner’s office could not be immediately reached for comment Sunday. The Denton police did not respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Jordan came up as a tailback playing in Mesquite, a Dallas suburb about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Denton.
Jeff Neill, the head coach at the high school where Jordan played, told the Dallas Morning News, “his smile was infectious and his spirit shined bright on everyone that knew him.”
Dec. 26 (UPI) -- University of Utah running back Ty Jordan has died, the school announced Saturday. He was 19.
'Words cannot express the devastation and heartache that our team is feeling right now upon learning of the tragic death of our teammate and brother, Ty Jordan,' Utah Head Football Coach Kyle Whittingham, said in a statement on the university's website. 'Ty's personality and smile were infectious and he made a huge impact on our program in the short time he was with us. He leaves an indelible mark on each of us and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. From the bottom of our hearts, all of us in the Utah Football Family want to say we love you Ty and may you rest in peace.'
Jordan's death comes days after he was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year after running 597 yards with six touchdowns on 83 carries in five games for the Utes.
He was from Mesquite, Texas, and attended West Mesquite High School.
Media outlets, including ESPN, have linked Jordan's death with a reported accidental shooting in Denton, Texas, but Denton police have not confirmed Jordan as the victim of the incident.

In November 2019, a photo went viral that featured Jordan, then a student at West Mesquite, and Gage Smith, an opposing player from Sherman High School.
After Sherman's 56-27 victory over West Mesquite, Smith asked Jordan if they could pray together for Jordan's mother, Tiffany, who had stage 4 lung and bone cancer.
