Tragedy

No specific cause of death reported, thus far. I'm sure it would be a coroner's case, given the age and unexpected nature of the death

Unfortunately it's nothing new for linemen having cardiopulmonary issues. That would be my guess

Big dudes with preexisting cardiovascular issues but their heart just gets bigger to compensate until its so big it can no longer function.

That is so extremely rare it’s highly unlikely to be the case here.

Growing up we had quite a few adolescent athlete deaths at my school due to undiagnosed heart issues. Apparently it’s pretty common.

My thoughts go out to the family. That is a parents worst nightmare.

Heart problems in athletes is more common than a lot of people think, they can usually intervene if they catch it in time, but if you really look into it; it’s not unusual. Athletes tend to push their bodies to the extreme and that can cause heart problems or unearth an undiagnosed condition.

A lot of people rushed to blame the Covid vaccine for Damar Hamlin going into cardiac arrest. Op expects the same to happen here.

But unexpected cardiac arrest happened long before the Covid vaccine...

One of my family friends growing up was a doctor in his mid 40s. He was in great shape and ran every other morning. Drank green smoothies and the whole 9 yards. Dude just dropped dead on a run one morning. Two autopsies found absolutely nothing - no clogged arteries, no heart malformation, no known toxins. Just sudden cardiac failure. This was like 2003 ish, long before anyone but specific disciplines of scientists knew the word coronavirus.

Yep, and then when a famous anti vaxxer recently died of COVID, they don’t mention the cause of death whatsoever. Funny how that works.

Tucker Carlson said some dumb shit about the protein spike in the covid vax without knowing anything (surprise), and now a lot of people are taking it as fact that the vaccine is causing heart issues.

It happened with Damar Hamlin the same night he was revived. It happened with Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters drummer) the day after he died. It keeps happening and sometimes you need to not let the idiots be the most vocal about a medical emergency.

I was working today with a guy who’s daughter is a freshman at USAFA. He was immediately on the Pfizer blood clot train. It took all I had to keep my eyes from rolling out the back of my head.

Oh dude I was thinking the same thing since I seen their shitty propaganda stating deaths of athletes from 1966- 2021 statement....

Lou3000 t1_j3uagu7 wrote

It’s really remarkable that before 2021, there had never been a cardiac issue in sports /s. Except I can think of two that I was watching live on TV. That’s not even trying to do any research. Muamba and Eriksen. Both soccer players connected to the one team I support. Eriksen a former Spurs player and Muamba in a match against Spurs.

I am so sorry for a young lad, cut down even before his prime. I'm twice his age. He will never know a lot of the stuff you and I did and took for granted. I wish his family and friends all the support they'll need.

'Cause life's a bitch and then you die.

Peace.

I’m 40 years old. As long as I can remember kids have been dropping dead, every year, mostly from undiagnosed heart conditions, since I’ve been in high school.

You idiots trying to pin ANYTHING on the vaccines is pathetic as fuck.

Yeah, this

I'm 40 and personally know several that didn't make it out of grade school due to sports related, undiagnosed heart condition, cancer, being ran over by a car in their bedroom while they sleep, idiot drunk driving, etc. Life is fragileand kids are dumb/inexperienced.

They didn’t say anything about the vaccine. It’s statistically more likely to be long covid than a vaccine response. But speculations feel inappropriate either way

Do you have any statistics on unexplained deaths in this age group we can take a look at?

Or are you "just asking questions?"

Yes they are...and this isn't some new issue...been happening forever, just way more focus on it since anti vaxxers are now pointing at any mysterious death as vax related to rile folks up.

How do we know it's not PEDs? How do we know it's not blood doping? The amount of pro athletes that cycle PEDs is silly. There are new drugs all the time and new masking agents.

Yeah, no.

People have heart attacks. Pro athletes sometimes have heart attacks even while young and in their prime. Undiagnosed heart conditions are a thing.

AZraver t1_j3u1pl1 wrote

Yeah, I don’t understand to seem why people try to pin young people dying on something else. Bodies are really sensitive things, but yet really durable at the same time, so random occurrences of people dropping dead young has been happening.

What’s really crazy is fentanyl overdoses have started to effect the life span of people here in America so much that it’s gone done. I know that’s a random thing, but just one of those crazy things to really think about.

captain_beefheart14 t1_j3u2bwv wrote

Exactly, a guy I went to HS dropped dead out of the blue of a heart attack at 29, 3 years before COVID. He wasn’t even overweight.

People sometimes just fucking die without warning, not everything is a conspiracy.
