Former Nebraska Cornhusker football player Justin Tomerlin lost his life in a tragic San Diego brain injury accident, which happened while he was skateboarding, on March 27, 2010, in La Jolla.

The 27-year old ex-Husker tight end was skateboarding down a hill when he fell and hit his head. Tomerlin was not wearing any safety equipment, like a helmet, which might have had prevented such a tragic outcome.
