Gopher linebacker found dead in dorm

Gary Tinsley, University of Minnesota student and football player, was found dead in his dorm Friday morning, the Pioneer Press reported.
The 22-year-old Florida native was unresponsive in his dorm room in Roy WIlkins Hall after being discovered by his roommate and fellow linebacker Keanon Cooper. Medics were unable to revive Tinsley and pronounced him dead less than an hour after Cooper found him, the Pioneer Press reported.
Though there was no evidence of foul play, university Police Chief Greg Hestness is calling his death "suspicious" because it involved a "young athlete," the Pioneer Press said.
Hestness also said the police were currently unaware of any pre-existing health conditions the young linebacker may have had, USA Today reported. The cause of death has not yet been released as officials wait on the results of an autopsy.
