A former University of Delaware rugby player was among those killed in the terrorist bombing in Kampala, Uganda, during the Soccer World Cup final.

More than 60 people died and 70 others were injured in Sunday’s bombing at a local rugby club.

Nate Henn reportedly was a lone American killed in the incident.

It was a day of double tragedy for the Delaware family when they got news that Nate’s brother Kyle was in a plane crash while hurrying home to be with the grieving family.

Kyle Henn was aboard a small plane trying to rejoin his family when it crashed Monday at Horace Williams Airport in Chapel Hill, NC, according to ABC News affiliate WTVD.

The station reported that the pilot of the plane was killed, while Henn was admitted to UNC hospital in fair condition, a hospital spokesman told the station.
