My condolences to his friends and family.



Anybody have an idea as to what could cause something like this? It doesn't seem likely (although it has happened before) that an athlete would exercise himself to death willingly. What sort of complications/interactions could've occurred?

Typically it usually ends up as an enlarged heart or a small hole in the heart. These could be terms for a myriad of probelms, but that is what seems to be the answer in many of these cases.

Dammit. I hate stuff like this. Just a kid trying to play college football. R.I.P. man.
