Georgia Tech Football Recruit Kills Himself After Walking In Front Of Train

Bryce Gowdy, high school football star was about to play for Georgia Tech on a full ride scholarship. He didn’t have a place to go with his family and checked into a hotel room. Bryce Gowdy and his family were experiencing difficult financial times.

On a Sunday night, His mother says he was acting strange, talking a mile a minute, and kept asking large questions about life. He wanted to know if she and his brothers would be OK in his absence. She sent him to get a blanket from the car, not knowing it was the last time she would ever see him.

About five hours later and a little more than a mile away, his body was found by the train tracks in Deerfield Beach. The Broward Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday ruled it a suicide, concluding he deliberately put himself in the path of a freight train.

Rowdy’s death contributes to the roughly two teens in Florida who commit suicide each week, and is the second in about a month to do so by train.

Since Christmas about a week ago, Gowdy had been β€œtalking crazy” and β€œtalking in circles” about life, Gowdy’s mother, Shibbon Winelle, said in the video posted on her Facebook page. He was talking about the things they were going through as a family the last few months since they had been homeless. About the things he had to see his mom go through because they were homeless.

β€œHe kept talking about the signs and the symbols that he was seeing all over the place,” Winelle said in the video.

β€œAbout how he could see the world for what it really was. He kept saying that he could see people for what they really are.”

The 17-year-old Deerfield Beach star wide receiver told his family that he was excited to go to Georgia Tech, where he would pursue a degree in finance or engineering on a football scholarship and one day be famous. But he was miserable over leaving his family in an unstable situation, relatives said.
