More Tragedy: Ole Miss Player Bennie Abram Dies After Training Collapse

We've already had too much tragedy in this conference for one week, but for some reason we're getting some more: Ole Miss player Bennie Abram collapsed during training and died Friday.

According to the university, trainers noticed that Abram was experiencing difficulty early Friday shortly after the workout started. Officials say the trainers began administering aid and called 911.

Abram died at 12:11 p.m., several hours later. Lafayette County Coroner Rocky Kennedy says an autopsy will be performed Saturday. He says there's no foul play involved.
