Tyler Hilinski Found dead

[Anointed One]

This is horrible... Just sad... The Red Shirt sophomore was found dead in his dorm today... Self inflicted gun shot wound... He was the air apparent to Luke Falk... Coug fans are in mourning...

WSU quarterback Tyler Hilinski, 21, found dead of apparent suicide

I really hope this didn't have anything to do with football. Not that there is ever a reason that is good - but it just seems like football brings so much pressure - and it's probably the least important thing in the grand scheme of life.

Yeah... So sad... My heart goes out to his family... I had a cousin who had a full ride to the UW as a LB in '88 commit suicide and it was so difficult to deal with... He left a note talking about the pressure he was dealing w/ as an athlete... I can only imagine what his family is going through...

Very sad indeed. RIP to the young man and prayers to his family and Coug nation in this difficult time.

Very sad I had dealt with suicide while in the Army I hope this doesnt become a CTE thing. I wish he could have hung on and beat whatever was eating him alive
