This is a sad day for Cougs across the state as news of a student athlete committing suicide has come out of Pullman.

Authorities are treating the death as a suicide.

Pullman Police say around 4:30 pm Tuesday, officers were sent to Hilinski's apartment to do a welfare check when he didn't show up for football practice.

Hilinksi, who was 21 years old, was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

More on this story in the morning with Todd and Hendo.
