Feel bad for his family it sucks losing anyone but especially when they're so young. Wonder what kind of routine surgery he was having? The doctors always warn about risks but you never think anything could happen especially with someone so young and healthy.

Couldn’t imagine going through that. Always remember to tell the people in your life that you love them. You never know when your time will come.

It was shoulder surgery. He had a reaction to the anesthesia. Awful. I can’t imagine .

Article I read said shoulder surgery. There were complications with anesthesia.

So sorry to hear of this young man's death. There is no such thing as routine surgery, there are risks any time they take place. His family has my deepest sympathy.

Have to wonder if this was a case of Malignant Hyperthermia. Seems more prevalent in athletes and is quite deadly if not noticed or treated immediately.

We (UT) lost a player to MH in the fall of 1970. I think his name was Jack Stroud.

Surgery might be 'routine' but it is anything but natural, and it is always dangerous to some extent.

Basically anesthesia meds destroy the liver, which releases bilirubin and ammonia into the blood stream which both can cross the blood/brain barrier. This leads to immense brain swelling, which then leads to herniation of the brain through the small hole where the vertebrae connect to the brain stem. Insanely hard to catch because unless you’re running constant liver enzyme tests, the first sign you get is mental status changes due to the ammonia buildup, and it’s almost impossible to reverse at that point.

It was indeed Jack. He was a year behind me at Bearden. My memory is that his too was a shoulder repair. I heard but never verified that he had gone for the procedure with the understanding it would be a local but that was changed to a general and he had a reaction to the sodium pentothal used. His dad was a UT grad who had a decade long NFL career as an OL starting in the early 50's.
