PEORIA, Ill. (AP) -- Illinois Wesleyan football player Doug Schmied died following heatstroke during practice last week.
The 21-year-old offensive lineman from Hanna City died Wednesday at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria.
"Doug Schmied's death is an unspeakable tragedy and leaves all of us at Illinois Wesleyan shocked and saddened," university president Richard Wilson said on the school's Web site.
Schmied, a 6-foot-3, 285-pound senior, became ill Friday when it was about 90 degrees during practice, said Dennie Bridges, athletic director of the Bloomington school.
