T&P to his family. Very sad news.

Especially considering the success. Hopefully it wont affect them and ruin the rest of season emotionally.

Could possibly spark a rally emotionally in the team, hard to say how these things work. I just hope everyone involved finds peace somehow.

sounds like sudden death due to Long QT Syndrome. Basically your heart begins to beat so erratically it causes sudden death. Kinda like a a car engine that starts missing so badly it dies. This is caused by a genetic mutation.

SVT or PSVT perhaps? Are you basically saying that the heart just never goes through an absolute refractory period, or could it be like he went into a pulseless VT? I am not trying to be a smart a$$, I'm just curious as to what this could possibly be due to a long Q to T period. I need to go read my arrhythmia book anyways.

Thoughts and prayers to him as his family regardless.

Thoughts and prayers to him, his family, and the Arkansas family as well.

Coroner said death was likely caused by an undiagnosed heart condition. How tragic.
