Sorry to hear of this. He left this life far too early. My condolences to his family and to his teammates. WC1

Turns out he suffered from an enlarged heart. I'm not a Doc but you have to wonder how that slipped by. Did they not know or did they know and he played anyway?

No doubt, that is a ten-million-dollar question.
