TULSA, Okla. -- A University of Tulsa football player who died April 28 died from complications of what's sometimes called the "flesh-eating" bacteria, the state medical examiner's office said.

Devin Adair, 21, suffered necrotizing fasciitis, a rare infection that sometimes can begin with flu-like symptoms.

Adair, a tight end, was hospitalized for a week before his death.
