Beech Remains in Critical Condition

UCLA football player Mike Beech remained in critical condition Friday following 14 hours of neurological and facial surgery for severe head injuries he suffered Thursday in a fall from the balcony of a fraternity house.

A spokesman at UCLA Medical Center said Friday there was no change in Beech’s condition.

Beech, 19, fell while dancing on the second-story balcony of a fraternity house sometime after midnight Thursday.

The 6-6, 250-pound offensive tackle redshirted last season and had been participating in spring practice the last two weeks.
