OK State player Coger died of enlarged heart
Oklahoma State basketball player Tyrek Coger died from an enlarged heart and the manner of his death was natural, the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office said Friday.
The news came a few hours after university officials held a news conference regarding Coger's death, which happened Thursday evening just after the team held a workout at the football stadium in extreme heat.
Coger, a 21-year-old forward who had recently transferred to OSU, did not appear to be struggling during Thursday's workout at Boone Pickens Stadium, OSU spokesman Gary Shutt said Friday at a news conference. After the workout, Coger sat down and when the team went to check on him, they noticed there were issues.
