Georgia Tech Recruit Bryce Gowdy Death Ruled A Suicide By Train

Winelle sent one of her younger sons out to search for him, but she knew something was wrong when he returned without Bryce.

She cried herself to sleep only to be awakened with confirmation of her fears with a phone call from her brother. There were reports that someone had been hit by a train earlier that morning.

Winelle immediately called the hospital, who told her nothing. As she was waiting, a knowing that had washed her over preceded a nurse affirming her son’s death with a white slip for a detective’s contact information in her hand, she said.

“My baby walked in front of a train and he killed himself,” she shouted into the camera.
