I suspect not, based on the combination of his age and that he died in his sleep, as opposed to doing some sort of exertional activity that would stress his heart out, unless of course he loaded up on cocaine or something before he fell asleep.

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 Just now, LeftWinger said: Did he have drug problems? I have no idea. I wasn't speculating, so much as exploring how it could possibly be a heart-related issue per hockeytown's question, given the limited info we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Well I think they're assuming if he died due to heart/cardiac reasons. But we have no idea. Usually if it's as young of a guy as him, you assume he had some sort of heart defect he was born with or cocaine. Heart and death don't go together at 23 years old. Way too rare. Guess we'll find out eventually the cause of death. Really sad whatever the reasons are. Way too young. Feel bad for my favorite announcer.

My thoughts are with the Daniels family. I second that we are supposed to be buried by our children not the reverse. What a sucky situation for the family to deal with especially it being the holidays. Best we can do is offer prayers of strength to the family. I can't imagine Ken would do the play by play for the next week at a minimum so who covers for him in situations like this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
