Kaseem Vauls, a 21-year-old defensive lineman from Jackson State’s football team in 2022, suffered cardiac arrest Wednesday morning, prompting doctors to resuscitate him and put him on a ventilator, according to a series of tweets from his father, William.
William told The Clarion-Ledger that Vauls was in stable condition — “but still critical,” he added — as of Thursday night.
Vauls went into the University of Mississippi Medical Center on Tuesday night with stomach pains and suffered cardiac arrest Wednesday morning.
Vauls was placed on a ventilator and underwent surgery later that afternoon. He’s still “heavily sedated.”
A cardiologist informed William that Vauls’ heart was only functioning at around 10-15%, he told The Clarion-Ledger.
“What the doctors think happened, that when Kaseem’s heart was failing, that what was giving him the stomach pains,” William told The Clarion-Ledger.
“His liver was suffering as fluid built up with toxins in his liver, kidneys and blood.
All those toxins built up in his blood stream and his heart could not operate properly and the machine is being used to clean out the blood and toxins.”
