Ohhhhh...got chills hearing this story considering he was brought up a number of times when we were discussing Ricky Williams and his problems. I honestly thought he would die of drug related issues, but it is still sad regardless.

Antmeister beat me to what I was gonna say... if he died young, I figured it'd be of a drug overdose.

Damn, that really, really sucks. :(

There's no guarantee that substance abuse wasn't a factor in the accident.

Oh man, I really, really hope not.

I was thinking the same thing as well. My next thought was you could have just as easily replaced his name in the story and this tragedy with Gooden or Strawberry:(
