According to a GoFundMe set up in his honor, Douglas was "purple in color and his oxygen level was at 63%" when he entered the medical facility -- and he needed to be placed into a medically induced coma a short time later.
Tragically, after weeks of fighting, Douglas' family and friends said he passed away on Thursday.
"Our family is devastated and ask for your continued love, support and prayers," a statement on Douglas' GoFundMe read.
Douglas' former teammate at OSU, Chukwuemeka Nnamdi Onyejekwe, AKA Mekka Don, also confirmed the news on Twitter .
