Ex-Weber State football player dies following jail stay

Ogden • Authorities say a former football player at Weber State University has died after he was booked into a Utah jail.

The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office tells the Standard-Examiner that 32-year-old Trevyn Smith was taken to a hospital after he "suffered a medical incident" at the county jail on July 4.

Authorities say he had outstanding warrants, including failure to appear in court, driving under the influence and driving on a denied license.

Sheriff’s Sgt. Kevin Hunter says South Salt Lake City police are investigating the death. The jail also is conducting an internal investigation.
