He was rushed to College Station Medical Center and never regained consciousness. Officials said Little’s death didn’t appear to be from natural causes, but that there is also no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved.
Little’s organs are to be harvested for donation and an autopsy will be performed afterward by the Brazos County Medical Examiner’s Office, police said.
