Man, 24, dies after being struck by softball
MISHAWAKA, Ind. - A member of a men's slow-pitch softball team has died
after being taken off life support, two days after he was hit in the
neck by a ball.
Teammates say 24-year-old Alberto Naranjo, of Elkhart, Ind., was sliding
into home plate during a game Saturday morning when a throw struck him
below his left ear. He started to get up, but collapsed.
Paramedics took Naranjo to Memorial Hospital in South Bend after
attempts to revive him failed.
St. Joseph County Coroner Michael O'Connell said a neurosurgeon
pronounced Naranjo brain dead early Sunday. O'Connell said Naranjo
remained on life support until Monday so his organs could be used for
transplants.
Hospital spokeswoman Ruth Linster said Monday afternoon that Naranjo had
died. |
