Sucks. Plain sucks. Wonder what the heck caused this? Hopefully nothing he could have prevented. I hate when kids (and he is a kid) get involved in things that they should not (talking about rhoids, drugs) just because they are young and feel invincible.
It is really sad to have to say this, but I hope he died of something natural, not dumb.

Same here. I always feel bad when I hear something like this, especially with young players...
But then if it's discovered that it was something stupid like drugs, I lose all sympathy.

I just heard about this. What a shame. You hate to see any young person die.
