An awful tragedy struck during the NCAA Baseball Super Regionals Saturday morning when Kyle Brown, an award-winning ESPN director, suddenly suffered a medical emergency and passed away. He was 42 years old.

Brown, who worked for the network for 16 years, was about to work the NCAA Tournament game between Wake Forest and Alabama when the incident occurred.

USA Today reported that as a result of his medical event, the game was delayed for two hours.

The cause of his medical emergency is unknown at this time. No cause of death has been released either.

ESPN released the following statement at noon Saturday:

On Saturday morning, beloved ESPN director Kyle Brown suffered a medical emergency and tragically passed away at the NCAA Baseball Super Regional in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A 16-year ESPN employee, Kyle was a deeply admired member of our production team – and highly accomplished, having captured two Sports Emmy Awards while working a multitude of sports from baseball and basketball to ‘Monday Night Football’ and college football.

A former Ohio State pitcher, Kyle cherished the opportunity to have a career in sports.

As Fox News reported, several of Browns colleagues paid tribute to him after his passing.

Completely devastated. Kyle was the kindest, most genuine human. Praying hard for the family he loved so beautifully. https://t.co/in2mEOTTfV
