CROWN POINT, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say a 19-year-old from northern New York has died after a weight he was benchpressing fell on his neck and crushed his windpipe.
State police say Tylor McGuinness of Crown Point died Wednesday at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vt. Troopers say he had been lifting weights by himself on Tuesday at a fitness studio in Crown Point, about 90 miles north of Albany.
Police did not provide details about the accident. The Post-Star of Glens Falls said the teen was benchpressing when the weight fell on his windpipe.
McGuinness was taken to the hospital and placed on life support. He died the next day.
