Lawyer says Matthew Mayich has no chance of recovery after ASU workout collapse

His family is seeking an independent investigation

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 51 min read

What happened: The 21-year-old remains hospitalized and incapacitated, according to family attorney Rob Carey. Carey alleged the Aug. 20 outdoor session lasted more than an hour with no rest and one water break for some athletes.

Why it matters: The collapse has put Arizona State's offseason conditioning and heat-safety practices under scrutiny. Campus police are investigating separately from the university's review.

By the numbers: Mayich arrived in Arizona about five days before the workout; temperatures were near 90 degrees with roughly 50% humidity.

What to watch: Watch for the police findings, any outside review and Arizona State's response to the family's allegations.
