On Tuesday, Temple University released the following message to students and colleagues entitled “Tragic News to share:”

“It is with deep sadness that we write to share news about first -year students Tyler Sabapathy. Over the weekend, Tyler sustained critical injuries and eventually died this afternoon.

The loss of a promising 18-year-old man who Tyler is both tragic and traumatic. There are no words that can make sense of it, and the whole Temple community mourns his passing away. Our hearts go out to Tyler’s family, friends, classmates and everyone who knew and loved him.

Tyler, resident of Toronto, Canada, was already a thriving student in Temple University’s College of Public Health, where he had a major in training and sports science. As a skilled gymnast with more than 120 medals in provincial, regional and international competitions, Tyler was fascinated by injury prevention, and this eventually led to pursuing the major he did. He undoubtedly had a bright future ahead of him, and it is so tragic that we will not be able to see how he would have marked himself in the world.

As a member of the University’s Club Gymnastics team, Tyler showed unique self-discipline and work ethics that spent countless hours a week training and honoring his craft. He was loved by his teammates, friends and coaches here in Philadelphia.

The young man was one of many who climbed Poles all over the city as hundreds of Eagles fans gathered to celebrate the team’s championship win against the commanders.

The poles are typically lubricated by the city before big sports games in an attempt to deter climbing, but more fans make it to the top regardless.
