Taryn King, a member of the Class of 2007, died suddenly in January 2006 in Gallway, Ireland. A psychology major and accomplished athlete, Taryn was studying away in Ireland when she became ill and died as the result of an infection. On Thursday, her cousin, Jay King-a blogger for Celtics Town–remembered the shock and grief of Taryn’s death, along with the healing power of sports.
