Lynnwood High School in Lynnwood, Washington has spent the week dealing with two unspeakable tragedies. Two students, who were co-captains of the school’s football team, were found dead less than two days apart.

According to KOMO News, Sayon Savorn, 17, committed suicide at his home last weekend. Sayon’s mother, Sheri Tada, found him on Saturday night. Tada said that Sayon, a junior at Lynwood, first told her about his depression in middle school. But despite them being close, Tada said her son lost hope.

“I don’t think any mother should have that vision in their mind. And every time I close my eyes it’s there – it’s what I see,” said Tada, sitting next to a memorial of Sayon.

Less than two days later, the second co-captain, 17-year-old Ryan Truong, was found dead. KOMO News reported that Truong didn’t die by suicide, but of natural causes. The county medical examiner is still working to determine the cause of death, but said that there are no suspicious circumstances. Truong was set to graduate from Lynnwood High School on Friday.

Lynnwood’s assistant football coach remembered both Sayon and Ryan for their commitment to the team and the joy they found in football.
