Brayden Bahme,16, a Cheney High School sophomore from Washington state, has died in a tragic sporting accident that saw him being impaled through the eye by a section of a soccer goalpost at the school.
The details are still unclear exactly how the accident occurred. Still, school officials say he was running during a gym class when he allegedly fell over in a running drill and impaled his eye in a collision with a soccer goalpost.

According to the Cheney district Fire Chief, first responders were called around 1:57 p.m. to Cheney High School to treat an unconscious young man.
Brayden was taken to Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital, later dying from his injuries.
Some of his teammates returned to the football field this week to pay tribute to him and his mother, Heather.
In a Facebook post, Brayden’s heartbroken aunt Holly said: ‘It’s with a heavy heart that we share with our family, friends, and Cheney high school community that Heaven gained an angel last night.

In a message that some called cold-hearted, the school said:
‘While it is important to allow all the opportunity to experience grief, it is also important to maintain as normal a routine as possible regarding school activities.
‘There may be a variety of reactions to the unforeseen loss of Brayden, and reactions to loss do not have a timeline.’
His family is now fundraising to help pay for his funeral on a GoFundMe page.
