Doctor Found Negligent in Basketball Player’s Death

A jury has found a doctor negligent in the death of a college basketball player after he collapsed and died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The doctor had previously examined the student and discovered a "slight systolic murmur," but declared the student in excellent health. He placed no physical restrictions on him, although he did order an EKG, but never had the test completed.
