The Winnipeg School Division says a high school football player injured in a game earlier this month has died in hospital.
It says Darius Hartshorne, a Grade 12 student and lineman for the Sisler Spartans, succumbed to his injuries Wednesday night.
An online fundraising page says Hartshorne sustained a severe spinal injury while being tackled during a game two weeks ago and underwent emergency surgery.
The school division says support services are available at the school to support for teachers, staff, teammates and students.
