Meigs County Sheriff's deputies are investigating the death of a 9-year-old boy who collapsed at a youth football practice. A coach found Wyatt Barber unconscious on the ground Monday after players took a break from practice. The practice was a walk-through and no player contact was involved. Barber is the 13th young American to die this year in football-related activities, according to the federal government.  The Montgomery County Coronor's office says the boy died of an abnormal left main coronary artery in his heart.
