Washington State quarterback Tyler Hilinski has died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Pullman Police say the 21-year-old Hilinski was discovered in his apartment at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday after he didn’t show up for practice earlier in the day. A rifle was recovered next to his body and a suicide note was found.
Hilinski was the presumptive starting quarterback going into next season. He started Washington State’s Holiday Bowl loss to Michigan State after Luke Falk was unable to play due to a wrist injury.
