RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted August 23, 2005 Terrible - I had the game on in Denver but I wasn't paying much attention - I was shocked to hear he died. They are speculating heart attack, but I bet he had some kind of cardiac myopathy/hypertrophy. It kills alot of (mostly) men at a young age and is not easy to diagnose yet. Beware of a family history of such matters, as many of these diseases are hereditary. (Sorry to be so gloomy but I used to work in a lab that studied this) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
