A 17-year-old high school football player in Long Island is on life support after collapsing earlier this week during conditioning drills for the Newfield High School (N.Y.) varsity team.<\/span><\/p>\n

His name is Robert Bush, and his<\/span>\u00a0brother Steve told Newsday<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that Robert had only been on the field for about four minutes on Monday before passing out due to a cardiac event. He had a pre-existing heart condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coaches performed CPR and used a defibrillator but could not revive Robert – who reportedly went without blood or oxygen to his brain for at least 45 minutes. Steve says there is no brain function for his brother, who’s in a coma at Stony Brook University Hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday morning, a local football coach shared a link on Twitter to a GoFundMe for Robert’s medical expenses,\u00a0<\/span>which you can find here<\/span><\/a>. The page has already passed the $10,000 goal.<\/span><\/p>\n
