DIED SUDDENLY: 22-Year-old Duluth Football Player Dies from Cardiac Arrest During Football Workout

The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is in mourning following the unexpected death of senior defensive lineman Reed Ryan, who tragically passed away on Tuesday, November 28th, at the age of 22.

Ryan’s passing came unexpectedly after he went into cardiac arrest during a team workout on November 21.

Despite the immediate and vigorous efforts of the athletic training team and the dedicated care of the ICU staff at St. Mary’s-Duluth, Ryan’s condition did not improve.

According to his obituary, Ryan succumbed to a cardiac arrest caused by a “previously undetected genetic heart condition” after a team workout.

“Reed went into cardiac arrest on November 21st following a football team workout in the weight-room doing what he loved. This was the result of an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart. The athletic training team was tremendous in their efforts to immediately initiate CPR and regain his pulse,” his obituary read.
