Students at Bear River High School were stunned after learning one of their star players died early Monday morning.Injuries involving weight training devices are not unknown. A USC player was critically injured after a falling weight bar crushed his throat, but I've never heard of anything involving a Bowflex.
Justin Butler, 16, was found by his parents in his home Sunday night after somehow becoming entangled in a Bowflex exercise machine. They called 911 and began performing CPR, and emergency crews rushed him by helicopter to a hospital.
Butler died Monday morning.
