HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan high school basketball player who died shortly after making a game-winning shot had an enlarged heart.
The Ottawa County medical examiner says 16-year-old Wes Leonard suffered cardiac arrest because of the condition. An autopsy was conducted Friday.
The teenager from Fennville High School was pronounced dead Thursday evening at a hospital in Holland. He scored the game-winning layup at the end of a perfect season for the small town near Lake Michigan. Leonard collapsed during a post-game celebration.
