METAIRIE, La. -- Drew Brees, Patrick Mahomes and the New Orleans Saints are among those who have shared their condolences after Saints fan Luke Siegel died Thursday at the age of 15.
Brees befriended Siegel and his family in 2015 after Siegel suffered devastating head and chest injuries in a golf cart crash. Siegel's family shared the news of his passing on Facebook after saying he had been hospitalized "with bilateral infiltrates, consistent with Covid pneumonia."
"My heart is very heavy today after hearing of the passing of my friend Luke Siegel," Brees posted on Instagram.
