NEED TO KNOW Tulane men's basketball player Gregg Glenn III died at age 22, the university confirmed Glenn reportedly died in a "tragic accident" over the weekend, according to the school's statement Tulane's head basketball coach remembered Glenn as an "exceptional athlete" and "remarkable person"Tulane men's basketball player Gregg Glenn III died at age 22 after what is being described as a "tragic accident." A statement from the university's vice president of student affairs Sarah Cunningham issued on Monday, July 28, said, "It is with profound sadness that I reach out to you today. We have lost a cherished member of our university community, Gregg Glenn III, who died in a tragic accident this weekend." Cunningham described Glenn as a "talented student-athlete who enriched our lives with his spirit, dedication, and passion for both sports and academics," calling him an "outstanding athlete" on the men's basketball team and "an individual who brought joy and light to those around him." "His commitment to excellence inspired many of us," the statement continued. "The oldest of his siblings, Gregg was a Health & Wellness major from Pompano Beach, Florida. Known for his infectious personality, positive energy, and kindness, he brightened every room he entered. Well known in the South Florida area for his basketball prowess, he will be greatly missed by many." Additional details about Glenn's cause of death were not made available.

Tulane Green Wave's head coach Ron Hunter said in a statement that his program "was devastated" to learn of Glenn's death. "He was not only an exceptional athlete but also a remarkable person who brought energy, dedication, and kindness to our team and community. Gregg's spirit and passion will be deeply missed, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We will honor his memory by continuing to celebrate the impact he made on all of us." Tulane's director of broadcasting Corey Gloor said he is "absolutely gutted" by the loss. "Gregg was such a great, genuine and kind person. Love ya, G," he added. Glenn started in 34 games for Tulane last season, averaging 10.6 points per game. Read the original article on People

Intoxicated person plan needed on Tube
Transport for London (TfL) has been urged to deliver a "concrete plan" to prevent intoxicated passengers being killed on its network following the accidental death of an artist in a Tube tunnel after a night out in London. Sarah Cunningham, 31, was hit by a northbound Northern line train after stepping on to the track and walking down a tunnel at Chalk Farm station in north London at about 03:30 GMT on 2 November. Issuing a prevention of future deaths report, senior coroner for Inner North London Mary Hassell said "the risk to the [intoxicated] individual is not necessarily at the forefront of TfL corporate thinking". TfL has been approached for comment. Ms Cunningham, who had used cocaine and ketamine before her death, was not suicidal, a coroner at Poplar Coroner's Court ruled. Although she had been seen by a member of TfL staff, they assumed she had boarded a train but she had walked along the tracks and was in a tunnel when she was hit by the train. Her body was found two days later about 245ft (75m) into the tunnel. The coroner wrote: "Realistically, some London Underground passengers will be intoxicated, and that has to inform TfL's corporate planning. "I heard that there was a TfL investigation following Sarah Cunningham's death, but the learning from that appears at present to be somewhat aspirational, without a concrete plan." Artist's Tube death was accidental, inquest finds Body found in search for missing artist Man who died on Tube was run over by four trains The coroner wrote that "passenger intoxication is recognised as a risk to London Underground staff" by TfL. She added: "Extreme intoxication is also known to be a risk to the individual who is intoxicated. However, it struck me that the risk to the individual is not necessarily at the forefront of TfL corporate thinking." TfL has until 16 June to respond to the coroner.
