A federal appeals court has decided who can't be held liable for a high school football player's death. The three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta ruled today three Rockdale County High School football coaches cannot be held liable for the death of a 15-year-old. Tyler Davis died the morning after collapsing from the heat during voluntary workout in July 2006. His parents sued the school system, the state of Georgia and various school employees. The court ruled the coaches are entitled to qualified immunity as public employees performing their duties.
