[blackNgoldjuice]

Second person in what, 3 days, that has died from an enlarged heart that was an athlete? Crazy

[The Seer]

I wonder which drug it was?

[Jimmy0607]

Seer it wasnt drugs

[stevek173]

Shame

[daneblazer]

I wonder which drug it was?

He had an enlarged heart.

[BurtRapp]

As a bears fan I wish he would have shown that big heart on the field. Well he is likely in a better place now. Bears 2010 would have been like death anyway.

[The Seer]

He had an enlarged heart.

In case you guys don't know, there are drugs that lead to enlarged hearts including anabolic androgenic steroids so drugs still are a possibility.

[JohnAnthony]

I know nothing about this guy or about college sports for that matter, but 26 is too damn young of an age to die. RIP.

[daneblazer]

sure there are...but don't jump to conclusions. The way it came out made it sound like it was something like cocaine. It could very well have been a preformance enhancing substance.
