    Syracuse Center Fab Melo Dead at 26 in his native country Brazil

    Damn, what horrible news. I really liked watching this kid play and his effort on the court.


    Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim told ESPN the cause of death is not yet known, but according to a report from Brazil, Melo died in his sleep. He lived with his mother and two sisters.

    RIP. No idea how someone this young and healthy could die in their sleep. That's life I guess.

    I don't know any details on the death. I hate to even say anything, but he was a big drinker, and always hanging out downtown while in the Cuse. Who knows what happened in the end, though. A big guy, who may have just had a heart attack. So much potential.

    The Cuse nation will miss ya.

    the 'if I Die before I wake" in the prayer is more real than you think. lost 2 co-workers who died in sleep. bad thing you die, good thing you never know it.
