RIP to Duck football player Fotu Leiato

[JSeahawks]

From Stellacoom, Washington. Died in an accident. He was the passenger. Was actually removed from the team 3 weeks ago for some trouble he got himself in, but obviously still very much in the heart of the players, coaches and fans. Very, very sad.

J isn't even telling half the story here - The driver was cited for DUI and arrested and when asked said he was the SOLE OCCUPANT - he left Fotu out there dead until a walker came across his body hours after the crash.

Yep, pretty disgusting. Makes you wonder if maybe there was a way his life could have been saved if he was able to get medical attention right away.

For anyone that doesn't recognize the name, you may recognize his high school highlight tape that went viral.

The only thing I can think of was this: The driver did not want his friend to get into trouble and tried to "cover" for him by saying he was not involved.

No matter how this case plays out it is still a tragedy. Two young peoples lives were changed in a terrible way.
