“The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled Saturday that a football player from Chicago’s Bogan High School died due to “blunt force head injuries” after being hurt during a game Thursday night.

Andre Smith, 17, was hit in the last play of the football game and collapsed after walking off the field. After the game, he was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

High school students came together Saturday in the south suburbs to mourn the teen. There were tears and hugs in tributes to the impact Smith made on their lives. More than 100 friends from his former high school, Rich Central, were at the school Saturday night to honor, mourn and share memories of the 17-year-old they called “Dre.”
