In a story Sept. 13, about the death of Frostburg State University football player Derek Sheely, The Associated Press reported erroneously that an autopsy was done to determine the cause of death. No autopsy was conducted, according to Sheely's father, Kenneth Sheely. Rather, he said, the death certificate indicates that the Office of the Maryland State Medical Examiner approved a hospital physician's finding that his son died from traumatic brain injury resulting from a helmet-to-helmet hit during practice.
