Sad News - UPDATED: Kill, Gray and U Chief of Police to address media at 2pm

[Dirk Diggler]

I have no sources on this but Michael Rand (@randball) just tweeted about "unbelievably sad news" coming from Gopher football. A check of his timeline and it could be some devastating news about Gary Tinsley.

I hope it's not true and I don't want to start any rumors here. Has anyone heard anything?

I know it's real cliche but tomorrow really isn't promised. You never know that today could be your last one.

RT: @jgkfan: Horrible news circulating in Dinkytown that Gary Tinsley has died. Team will meet today at 4:30. Wow.

Sad news. Thoughts out to his family this easter weekend.

I heard from sources that his roommate found him, and his heart had stopped. They couldn't retrieve him. All the players have been pulled from their classes.

This is so shocking and tragic. My heart just goes out to all of his loved ones .

Prayers for the Tinsley family...the incredible grief they must be enduring.

[PokeysLittleDog]

Was still peeved/depressed about the hockey game last night. This stuff always puts life back into perspective. Thoughts and prayers.

Awful. Watching Tinsley's inspired play over the final few games last season was one of the bright spots for me. Sad, sad, sad.

Came through some tough times and got past them and seemed to flourish. Hope his family can find some peace.
