Pittsburgh Steelers: David Little, a durable linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers who was voted to the Pro Bowl in 1990, died while weightlifting at home in Miami. He was 46.

Little had heart disease, and a cardiac fluttering Thursday caused him to drop on his chest 250 pounds of weights, which rolled onto his neck and suffocated him, the coroner said Tuesday. Little was found by his sons, David Jr. and Darien.

Little played his entire 12-year career in Pittsburgh after he was drafted out of Florida in the seventh round in 1981. He started 125 of the 179 games he played for the Steelers and once played in 89 in a row. His last season in the league was 1992.

His older brother, Larry Little, was an All-Pro guard for the Miami Dolphins.

Little is also survived by his wife, Denise, his mother, daughter and four sisters.

Would that make it three kids? Two sons, one daughter.

Joe · 03-22-2005, 04:06 PM

yeah, 3 kids and 5 siblings.

that sucks. that's why when i bench at the gym i use that machine where the bar is held on both sides of the machine. i think it's called the "Smith machine". there's more support on both sides, the bar can only go up and down, rather than wiggle forward and backwards cuz you can't balance it.

bosshogg23 · 03-22-2005, 04:38 PM

Wouldnt his doctor have warned him against such activites alone if he had heart disease and the POSSIBILITY of a "cardiac fluttering"?

I could see his wife breaking out some lawsuits, vs. the DR, vs. the weight machine company, maybe more.

I am guessing he knew of the possible problems that could pop up from working out at home, alone. Problem is, he probably though "Couldn't happen to me"

Tom E · 03-22-2005, 04:53 PM

Atleast he died benching a manly amount...

JeffNights · 03-22-2005, 10:15 PM

Suicane75 · 03-22-2005, 10:41 PM

In his defense he was having heart troubles, I refuse to wash dishes if I have a hangnail.
