Joe Shay was somehow just giving an interview on a local TV station. I am not sure how he managed to do this emotionally. He stated that Ryan did collapse and hit his head on the pavement. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead of cardiac arrest shortly thereafter (possibly a bit more information than previously known). Ryan's mother and father were on their way to the Michigan state CC finals at the time. This is a shocking and terrible loss for the entire Northern Michigan community. Ryan often comes home to see family and train.
