Bronxville teen dies after NYC soccer injury

A New York City high school student from Bronxville who was injured in a soccer game earlier this week has died.

Loyola School junior Thomas Jakelich, 16, collided with another player during a varsity game Monday afternoon against the United Nations International School on Randall's Island, his family said. He was a resident of Bronxville, according to media reports.

The family said the collision appeared normal at first, but then Jakelich was hospitalized with internal bleeding. His liver was lacerated and he died Monday night at Harlem Hospital.

The New York City medical examiner's office said the exact cause of death is still being determined.

Loyola School President Tony Oroszlany issued this statement:

"As a school community, we mourn the tragic loss of Thomas Jakelich and offer our prayers and deepest condolences to his family. Out of respect for the privacy of Thomas’ loved ones and that of our students, we offer no other comment beyond our profound sadness at the loss of a beloved member of the Loyola School family. "
