Very sad.

That's awful... I can't believe it. Anyone know the cause yet?

I don't think it's been released yet. There is speculation of it being related to heat exhaustion (even though the temp was only in the 60s). Hopefully it's not something directly related to playing football... like when Corey Stringer died from heat stroke a couple of years ago.

Cause of death is still up in the air.
Coroner's office found nothing yet, they must wait 3-6 weeks for toxicology results.

I read somewhere that something like 30% of the players in the NFL are overweight. That pretty much covers just about every Offensive Lineman and the majority of the Defensive interior.

I'm willing to bet that he died of a heart attack...but don't be surprised if fat burners like Hydroxycut or Xenadrine are found in this guys system...and if they are, just wait for the media backlash. Remember a couple of years ago with Corey Stringer and that pitcher Steve Bechler.

In any event a tragedy...no different than every man or woman that suffers an untimely death, but at least he has passed away with most of North America knowing his name.

*bump* Well the verdict is in.. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/news_story.asp?id=135533">http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/news_story.asp?id=135533</a><!-- m -->

Strange to have that much heart blockage and an attack at that age...although he did weigh 310lbs. Im sure that had something to do with it.
