The Arkansas Razorbacks football program was stunned Sunday when it was announced that redshirt freshman tight end Garrett Uekman was found dead in his dorm room overnight. The news was confirmed by Adam Alter of KNWA/KARK on Twitter on Sunday afternoon, and Alter said the team is holding a meeting at 1:30 pm Central Time.
The Arkansas athletic department has yet to comment on the matter, but a statement is expected soon.
There are, as yet, no details released about the circumstances surrounding Uekman's death. He participated in Arkansas' 44-17 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday, but did not record any statistics. The victory propelled Arkansas to No. 3 in the nation a week before the team's trip to top-ranked LSU this coming Saturday.
Uekman was 19 years old.
We will have more information on this tragic event as it becomes available.

19 year old and sudden heart attack don't usually go together without some outside influence.

Or genetic condition. Len Bias always comes to mind when I hear heart attack and 20 year old now.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - A University of Arkansas student-athlete, Garrett Uekman, was found unconscious and unresponsive in his room in the Northwest Quad residence hall at approximately 11:15 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 20. Emergency medical crews were called but attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at Washington Regional Medical Center on Sunday afternoon.
Garrett Uekman (pronounced Eck-man), 19, from Little Rock, was a sophomore majoring in applied exercise science in the College of Education and Health Professions. He was a redshirt freshman on the Arkansas Razorback football team, where he played tight end. He had played in nine games during the current football season.
University Police Lt. Matt Mills said that the cause of Uekman's death is not known at this time, but there are no suspicious circumstances. Uekman was last seen playing video games by a roommate at about 10:15 a.m. and appeared to be in good health. Another roommate found him unconscious about an hour later. Emergency services were called at 11:17 a.m., and the first responders were on the scene at 11:20 a.m. Uekman was in cardiac arrest when responders arrived and was pronounced dead at approximately 12:10 p.m. at Washington Regional Medical Center.
The Washington County Coroner will send Uekman's body to the State Medical Examiner for an autopsy. Lt. Mills said this is standard procedure for any unattended death.
Uekman's parents, Danny and Michelle Uekman, were contacted when their son was being taken to the hospital, and Jeff Long, the director of athletics, Bobby Petrino, the head football coach and Danny Pugh, the dean of students and vice provost for academic affairs, met with them to offer their condolences and support when they arrived in Fayetteville.
Members of the Razorback football team met at 1:30 this afternoon with Pugh, Long and Petrino, and were told of Uekman's death. Counselors were available at the meeting to talk with the student-athletes.
"Garrett's loss is a terrible shock for the University of Arkansas and the Razorback program," Long said. "Our sincere condolences go out to his family and to all of those who knew him. He will be missed by many friends, teammates and others throughout campus. The well-being of our student-athletes is at the very core of our mission and when a tragedy like this happens it is a tremendous loss to the entire campus community. We will work with various campus services to provide support for the Uekman family, our student-athletes, coaches and staff during this difficult time."
"The loss of a student is always hard on the university community," Pugh said. "Garrett Uekman was known both as a student and as an athlete, and consequently his loss touches many people within and outside of campus. We extend our sincere condolences to his family, his friends, his fellow students, and his teachers and coaches. He and they remain in our thoughts and prayers."
"Garrett Uekman was a special member of our family, and we are all saddened by his passing," Petrino said. "His loss is a terrible shock, and it makes you realize how precious life is. Garrett was a great teammate and loved being a Razorback. My sympathies are with his entire family during this incredibly trying time, and I share in their grief. Our team will honor and show our respect to Garrett."
The Uekmans' released this statement through the university:
"Our son was living his dream of going to the U of A and playing football for the Razorbacks. He loved his school, his coaches, and his teammates and classmates, and was an influence and inspiration to so many people. We ask for your love and prayers for Garrett, our family and his friends as we all cope with this heavy and painful loss. Meanwhile, we ask for respect and privacy during this time of grief."
Garrett Uekman was a graduate of Little Rock Catholic High School.

Don't be such a little bitch.
I've been a firefighter for 12 years now, and JR is right, for the most part. Healthy 20 year olds do not just randomly drop dead unless it was due to some pre-existing defect, or other outside source. It's one of the first things they teach us medically regarding infants and children as well. They normally don't just randomly stop breathing and drop dead, unless there is something else going on with them.
I don't think he's trying to be a dick, just saying how it is. I doubt he would have said it differently had it been an AU player. When news broke that Aaron Douglas (Alabama OL) had been found dead, the first thought in my mind was drugs or alcohol. Alot of people on Alabama boards were saying stuff along the lines of JR. Maybe it's just because I'm jaded.

You know what? Fuck you , too.
Yall were implying that this kid was a fuck up and he was not. I used to like this board, but yall know what? You motherfuckers are Bammers, too. Live with it.

JR made the comment, and it wasn't that crass. Just a thought about the situation.
Everyone else has been sympathetic.

Wasn't implying shit. Just stating an obvious fact. I don't know how or why the kid died.

For the record, that would be a lower case "b", and I think we can all understand your sentiment but I think you totally took JR the wrong way on this.
It sucks when a young kid like this passes. I can only imagine how his parents feel, friends also. Prayers go up.

I dont think he was implying that at all. And as RWS said, I think JR would have said the same thing if it been a player for any other team in any other sport. 20 year olds dont have heart attacks unless:
1. They are 700 lbs
2. Have a pre existing genetic condition
3. Have something in their body that didn't mesh right with their heart. Allergy, reaction, stimulant, etc.

The same premise that they protest at anything even remotely considered high profile. Anybody who is not one of them is sinning, and whatever caused the tragedy is proof of God's wrath for not being one of them. So, they swoop in to get the attention and publicity of protesting.

Don't forget to take your case of Vagisil with you on the way out. It's right next to the Proactiv that Birmingham left.

Week before last here in Dothan/Ashford area, they honored a young soldier killed in Afghanistan. When they brought his body home, we had people line the roads all the way from the airport to the funeral home. Pretty cool stuff. You don't think about it happening in your area but sure enough, the Westboro people showed up.
I can't tell you what the thinking was, but I assume it centered around the fact that his funeral would be in Ashford, basically a small farming town just outside of Dothan, with enough good ole boys who probably have no clue who these assholes are. They made a huge deal out of this kid's funeral and rightfully so...and you let these people show up and protest and I promise you, there would be a real good chance of somebody getting shot. Anyway, to diffuse the situation before it ever got to that, a local radio station granted them an hour of airtime in exchange for them not showing up at the funeral.
I was pissed as hell at first but then, the other side of me sees the logic.
-
Fuck that!
Part of the problem in this world is that there are not enough ass beatings administered to the stupid.

It seems like that Westboro cult (and thats what they are) has a lot of time and coin to go all around the country to protest funerals.

I am not sure what Bible she reads, but mine says this:
Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"
Maybe she should read it. Instead of making up shit to promote her own personal cult of belief.

Damn what a fucking vagina full of sand you have! I know he's an Ark. player, but you're fucking acting like we're pissing on your mother's grave. I was the first to re: here. "Sad News" I said. Meant it. You said something about a "sudden heart attack". A: No Autopsy yet, you don't know shit. B: 19 year olds don't drop dead of heart attacks without something unusual going on. Genetics, drugs, or something. I suggested nothing bad, and was even thinking, it probably isn't that at all. It's rare, but people can develop blood clots which can suddenly break loose, aneurism don't know age limits. I've worked a few scenes where otherwise healthy, relatively young people simply keeled over dead, and usually that's the case.
Quit acting like this is that personal to you, and quit reading something sinister in to my post.

That fucking mommy part is insane! If God really did unleash his wrath the way she thinks, she'd have been gone a long time ago.

In fact, you and boartitz would tag team that whore while arguing about what you did or didn't mean about the player's death.

19 year old and sudden heart attack don't usually go together without some outside influence.
Well, I kinda took it as drugs/partying when you said 'outside influence'. But if he was from another school and I didn't know the kids background (check that, even if I did know), I would assume that he had an 'outside influence' to drop dead like he did.
We just went from a super-awesome weekend seeing OU choke along with 3 other teams while boo-foo'ing MSU and getting our highest ranking since '78 to hearing that a really good kid from our home state suddenly dropping dead.
We are cranky and confused right now. Conflicting emotions.

Oh, and WBC can choke on a bag o' dicks.
Napalm the whole damned group.

Autopsy today confirmed he passed due to an undetected heart condition.

A kid that went to church with me passed away under similar conditions. He was 16 and about 6'4" and about 280lbs and played DT. Was getting recruiting interest from most of the SEC and half the ACC. Went home after a game and went to bed and never woke up. Autopsy said his heart was about twice the size it should have been.

Very sad.
Like Jr and I both said, 19 year olds do not just drop dead of a heart attack. Its something out of the norm that causes it. And this was no exception.
Next time this happens, please refer to my 3 point outline in this thread. It will never fail based on historical precedence.
