An autopsy has revealed that Freedom High alumnus and Missouri Southern State University pitcher Danny Sickles died Saturday from a bacterial infection known as meningococcemia.
Jason Sickles, one of Danny's younger brothers, said his family learned the results of the autopsy on Tuesday and that the medical examiner concluded that Danny died peacefully.
"That really makes my family feel a lot better," said Jason, a 17-year-old junior at Freedom.
Danny Sickles had told family members and friends as early as Thursday that he was suffering from flu-like symptoms.
On Saturday, his roommates went to a Missouri Southern basketball game, and when they returned, they found Danny unresponsive in his bed.
Danny, a junior at Missouri Southern, was 20 years old.
The autopsy was conducted Monday afternoon at Cox South hospital in Springfield, Mo., Jason said. It showed that Neisseria meningitides -- the same bacteria that also causes meningitis -- was present.
Jason Sickles said viewings will be held from 2-4 p.m. and from 6-9 p.m. Thursday at Family Funeral Care at 13001 South John Young Parkway. The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, also at Family Funeral Care.
Family and friends are the process of establishing a scholarship fund that will bear Danny's name
