Suburban Football Star Dies in Apparent Suicide; Family Says COVID Worsened Depression A top student athlete at Glenbrook North High School died Thursday in an apparent suicide just months before graduation after his family said the teen s struggle with depression worsened significantly during the coronavirus pandemic. Dylan Buckner, 18, was found unresponsive at the Deerfield Embassy Suites Thursday afternoon, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner s office. Deerfield police confirmed they were called to the hotel. Buckner s father, Chris Buckner, said the teen had been battling depression the last few years but his depression worsened significantly after COVID hit. The family believes that had COVID not happened, or the country s response to COVID had been more effective, Dylan would still be alive today, Chris Buckner wrote in a statement, adding we are really, really going to miss him.
