VMI Cadet Dies After Training March

LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) ― A Virginia Military Institute freshman has died after completing a 10-mile road march.

VMI officials said John Alexander Evans, 19, of Highland, Md., collapsed in his barracks room after completing the training march with other members of his class Saturday. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after noon.

Evans was an international studies major and member of the Marine ROTC program.

The medical examiner will determine what caused Evans' death.
