Penn Football Captain’s Death Ruled A Suicide
“Obviously, we should have gotten those signals but we never personally thought he would ever kill himself,” she said. “He was so full of life. He did say he was working so hard but not doing well, and we said, ‘We’ll deal with it.’ He was worried about getting a job in the summer. He was made captain so now he felt responsible to set high standards for the team. I never imagined it would suddenly turn so bad.“Our deepest condolences to Thomas’s loved ones and the entire Penn football family.
