ALEX MOORE DIES OF
HEART FAILURE
KAREN WOLFENDALE
Alex Moore, a junior wide receiver for the Gainesville
University football program, collapsed due to an apparent
heart failure during drills at practice yesterday morning.
Emergency medical technicians rushed Moore to North
Florida Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead
on arrival at 9:32 EST.
Team doctors gave Moore a clean bill of health at
the start of the season, following surgery to repair a torn
ACL in his left knee earlier this year. This past Saturday,
the receiver recorded eleven receptions and was instru-
mental in a hard-fought Gator victory, finishing the
game without any apparent health issues.
