It was then further reported that Karageorge apparently died of a simple gunshot that was self-inflicted, and the gun was found in a dumpster with Karageorge’s body.
Karageorge died of a single gunshot wound that appears to be self-inflicted. Tattoos aided in identifying him.

The search had been on for Karageorge since this past Wednesday, and the Ohio State football team honored him Saturday on senior day prior to the game with the rival Michigan Wolverines.
Karageorge’s mother recently revealed that he had suffered from concussions and even recently apologized to her for being an “embarrassment.”
In addition to playing defensive line for Ohio State, he was also part of the wrestling team.
Just horrible news out of Columbus Sunday evening, and thoughts are with the Karageorge family during this difficult time, as well as the Buckeyes.
