Breaking News: Former LMU midfielder Jay Singh, now of Cal State Northridge, dies

Former U.S Under-17 National Team member Jay Singh has died, prompting the postponement of Wednesday’s Cal State Northridge game against UC Santa Barbara.

Singh, 21, died at his San Bruno, Calif., home late Sunday night of unspecified causes.

Tully Vogt, a deputy coroner with the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office, said Monday evening the cause of death remains under investigation. No further details were available.

Singh was in his first year at CSUN after transferring from LMU where he played 12 games during his 2005 rookie season, starting four.

Recruited by UCLA, St. John’s, Indiana, Santa Clara and UC Santa Barbara, Singh was a 2004 NSCAA High School All-American.

LMU’s media guide lists his parents as Nita and Jaywant Singh; he also has a brother, Jason.

Further details are in a CSUN press release.

Updated Tuesday: the Daily News had more details in a story that ran today.
