Have to agree with you #Logical. This is sad on many levels. It’s likely nothing that could have been foreseen or prevented. You have to feel for the family especially. The media and outsiders will only think of him as an athlete, and by all accounts a pretty good one at that. His family, friends, and teammates, know him in a totally different way… they know him as a person. They’ll be the ones most hurt by this. You can bet he’ll be a lifelong inspiration to those closest to him though.

What is wrong with the people up thread who are giving thumbs down to respectful, innocuous posts? (Cue the thumbs down on this post, too. Sad, though I do laugh with pity at how small their worlds must be.)

Terrible news…obviously. I can’t imagine what his family, friends and teammates are going through.

Does anybody know what he died of? It seems like stuff like this is happening more and more, or at least it’s getting reported more and more.
