| Alabama teen dies after head injury during high school football game | The Alabama community is mourning the loss of 16-year-old Caden Tellier, a high school quarterback who died following a brain injury sustained during a football game. Tellier suffered a critical head injury while playing for John T. Morgan Academy against Southern Academy in Selma on Friday night. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he passed away the next day. Tellier's parents confirmed he was an organ donor, and their statement highlighted his kindness and generosity, noting that his passing would help save lives through organ donation. | Initial reports suggest Tellier may have ruptured a blood vessel in his brain from a routine play during the game.
