A high school lacrosse player from Ohio died this week at the age of 16 after a freak accident during a game.

Dylan Veselic, a sophomore at Bay Village High School, died Thursday after taking a ball to the head two days prior.

Veselic was injured after a shot from an opponent struck the back of his head underneath his helmet. He underwent surgery on Wednesday, but it was not enough.
