    Haywood was rushed to hospital on Saturday

    Dallas Cowboys tailback Ennis Haywood was on life support Sunday morning after becoming ill a day earlier and being rushed to a local hospital.

    A spokesperson for the Medical Center of Arlington confirmed that Haywood, who participated in the team's mini-camp last weekend and was expected to vie for a spot on the roster in training camp, was admitted early Saturday unconscious and unresponsive. The spokesperson said Haywood's family requested the hospital release no further details of his condition.

    Team officials could not be immediately reached for comment.

    Haywood's sister-in-law, Angela Jernigan, told The Dallas Morning News that the player began vomiting in his sleep Saturday at about 4 a.m. and that he then stopped breathing two hours later, prompting the family to call 911.

    Haywood, 23, signed with the Cowboys last spring as an undrafted college free agent from Iowa State, where he finished a standout career as the fifth-leading rusher in school history. He led the Cowboys in rushing during the preseason, carrying 31 times for 120 yards, and that earned him a spot on the Dallas practice squad.

    A Dallas native, and a graduate of the city's Carter High School, he spent the entire '02 campaign on the practice squad, and re-signed with the Cowboys after the season.

      "The cause of death at this time is unknown," she told the Associated Press. She said she doesn't know what Haywood was being treated for.

      Haywood was taken to the hospital early Saturday after waking up feeling ill and vomiting, Iowa State director of media relations Tom Kroeschell told the Associated Press on Sunday. Kroeschell said he got the information about the former Cyclones player from the school's football coach, Dan McCarney.

      Haywood participated in the Cowboys' three-day minicamp last week and was expected to compete for a roster spot at halfback.

            Haywood eulogized with football stories, humor

            DALLAS (May 16, 2003 7:56 p.m. EDT) - In a soulful ceremony brightened by song and football stories, about 1,500 family, friends, teammates and coaches filled a southern Dallas church Friday to remember Dallas Cowboys running back Ennis Haywood.

            At an altar adorned with flowers and football uniforms from Dallas Carter High School, Iowa State University and the Cowboys, several pastors, coaches and teammates celebrated the 23-year-old player with the illuminating smile and a bold sense of style that led him to wear a red pinstripe suit to his first Iowa State game.

            Tears streaming down her cheeks, Haywood's wife, Kristal, kissed her husband's face and brushed his cheek as she stood by his coffin, where he lay in a slate blue suit, his hand placed over a red and white football that bore his name.

              Life in a Cowboys family on hold

              Red. White. And deep, dark blue.

              On this Fourth of July, for the first time in 24 years, there will be no celebration in Carol Haywood's back yard. No caffeine-propelled boys with wide smiles and water guns chasing each other around her Oak Cliff house. No fireworks. No barbecue.

              No Ennis Haywood.

              "I'm not in the mood to try to do anything," said Carol. "I'm just gonna try to make it through another day where I miss him so much. And it won't be easy."
