Colt Brennan, a former University of Hawaii quarterback who tied or broke dozens of N.C.A.A. football records, died early Tuesday morning at a hospital in Newport Beach, Calif., according to his father and the university. He was 37.
Mr. Brennan was admitted to Hoag Hospital Newport Beach on Monday after he ingested a substance believed to contain fentanyl, according to the police and his father, Terry Brennan. Colt Brennan had recently finished a four-month course of treatment at a rehabilitation center and was trying to recover from a substance use disorder, his father said.
“We’re just trying to put the pieces together and trying to figure out what happened,” he said.
