A 17-year-old Topeka West football player who collapsed earlier this month during football practice has been released from Stormont-Vail Hospital and taken to a rehabilitation hospital in Omaha.
KTKA Channel 49 in Topeka reported that Thomas Bell apparently suffered from a blood clot in his brain when he became unconscious during practice.
He is the son of former Topeka High School football coach Keith Bell and a nephew of Dale Bell of Emporia.
The “Thomas Bell Medical Fund” has been set up to help Thomas Bell’s family with ongoing medical and travel expenses. Contributions may be sent to any Commerce Bank and Trust location.
