Ohio High School Lacrosse Player Dies From Injuries Suffered During Game

An Ohio high school lacrosse player died Thursday from injuries he suffered during a lacrosse game.

The family of Dylan Veselic announced his death in a message posted to the Bay Village High School lacrosse team’s X account.

Veselic, a sophomore, was injured Tuesday during a game in Olmsted Falls. He was rushed to a hospital and underwent surgery.

Cleveland television station WKYC reported that Veselic was struck by the ball in the back of his head, just below the helmet.

The district superintendent’s office did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Bay Village is 15 miles west of Cleveland.
