Manhattan, Kan. (AP) _ Nancy Bennett, the wife of Kansas State Defensive Coordinator Phil Bennett, died Saturday from injuries sustained by lightning two weeks ago while jogging during a violent thunderstorm. She was 41 years old.
Bennett had been in intensive care at Mercy Hospital since being injured on August 11 and never regained consciousness.
In addition to her husband, she leaves behind two young children, Sam, 11, and Maddie, 8.
Bennett, who worked as a registered nurse while following her husband through various coaching jobs, was struck by lightning near the Kansas state campus. Bennett, worried about his wife being out in the storm, rushed to the scene as she was being put in an ambulance.
Bennett, who has missed the practice of being with his wife, said in a statement released through the school that he was grateful to the thousands who expressed their compassion and concern through this ordeal.
Bennett joined the Kansas State staff in January and was named defensive coordinator in February.
