"As an accomplished gymnast with more than 120 medals in provincial, regional and international competitions, Tyler was fascinated with injury prevention, and this ultimately led him to pursue the major that he did. He no doubt had a bright future ahead of him, and it is so tragic that we will not be able to see how he would have made his mark on the world," the statement continued.

The irony of his death. Really, really devastating news. Just a freshman.

Gymnasts do enough injury and death defiance in everyday training.
