Wheaton College in Illinois is in mourning after a 19-year-old student was killed in a bizarre accident at a track meet Saturday.
Ethan Roser, 19, a freshman transfer student from Cincinnati, Ohio. Roser died after being accidentally struck with a hammer Saturday, according to a Wheaton statement. He had been volunteering at a track and field competition on the campus in suburban Chicago.
Roser was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove where he was pronounced dead.
Roser was a transfer student from Cincinnati and agreed to work the event as a volunteer.
"We are deeply grieved, but, because of our faith in Christ, not without hope," said Wheaton College President Philip Ryken. "We ask people to pray for Ethan's family, his friends, and our campus community."
