High body temperature, medically referred to as hyperthermia, was the cause of death for Kent State freshman offensive lineman Tyler Heintz according to the Portage Country coroner’s office. Heintz died this week during the second day of Kent State’s summer football camp. Heintz had just arrived on the Kent State campus this offseason following the conclusion of his high school career.
