RIP Boogie

I wonder what's up with this? I mean..... 28 year olds don't just drop dead for no reason. Especially when your in the shape of a world-class athlete like Boogard was.

Unreal.

[Jericholic]

Very sad. He was a fan favorite here when he was with the Wild. RIP Boogie man.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Too young....RIP

[jjgold]

Drugs??

[RealSlimShady]

Probably drugs. Or some pre-existing heart condition.

[robzilla]

It would be interesting to see the autopsy results. I have a feeling it'll have something to do with brain damage.

Could've been a heart condition... that's the 1 thing that seems to take down athletes, as it is more prevalent in them than the general population.

Way too young. RIP

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Wow, thats some really sad news. RIP tough guy.

[bigsmitty]

Brutal news. You don't want to make assumptions but one would think it may have been caused by drugs/partying/etc which makes me wonder if there is a clinical link between brain trauma and the tendency to "self-medicate" with different things. All sorts of different tough guys that passed away for different reasons at a young age but 28 is pretty shocking.

[SECOND SHIFT]

A great loss to n.y. And hockey.

[Cranium]

Sad news as we enter the Conference Finals...

[ACoochy]

Usually when media reports leave out details of death then 99 times out of 100 it indicates suicide which wouldnt be surprising given he probably got depression having missed so many games. Twice as many ppl neck themselves then die on our roads yet its still a subject that is totally taboo to discuss...RIP

[sonyman]

very sad news.....fun player to watch...tough guy

[jollyoscars]

[Irish Lumberjack]

This is what I was thinking if it's not drugs or suicide. Be interesting to see if he took any blows to the noggin in the past few days but he missed some time for concussion and if a hockey guy misses a game for a concussion you know he's fukked up.....probably on the level of Morneau.

Cause of death was due to mixing alcohol and oxycodone.
