(Reuters) - A high school football player in New Jersey has died from an injury he sustained during a game on Friday night, school officials said Saturday.
The death of Warren Hills Regional High School quarterback Evan Murray prompted waves of grief on social media and a fundraising effort on the website GoFundMe.com.
District Superintendent Gary Bown did not disclose details of the injury in a statement, calling Murray's death a tragedy.
The fundraising page set up by supporters of his family says that Murray, a senior at the high school, took a hit behind the line of scrimmage during the game.
