A western Pennsylvania university student and basketball player likely inhaled chewing gum into her lungs while asleep before being found dead in her dormitory over the weekend.

The Washington County coroner's office said 21-year-old Shanice Clark of Toronto was found unresponsive at about 3 a.m. Sunday at California University of Pennsylvania.

University officials said they were "deeply saddened" by the death of the 6-foot senior forward, who was redshirting after playing two dozen games for the Vulcans last season.

Why China town? My first thought was nicotine gum. Is there some “herbal Chinese” gum that’s in vogue with athletes or students lately?

Was on the evening news. Aspirated chewing gum into her lungs while sleeping. Very tragic.

My favorite Lloyd Braun was the one in all the episodes after The Nonfat Yogurt.

“Lloyd Braun was a recurring fictional character on Seinfeld. Braun grew up with George Costanza. George’s mother often pushed him to be more like Lloyd Braun, saying, “Why can’t you be more like Lloyd Braun?” Lloyd is played first by actor Peter Keleghan (”The Non-Fat Yogurt”), then by actor Matt McCoy.”

Seinfeld quips aside, this is sad about the deceased student.

Very sad.

For better or worse my line of work gives me gallows humor. Kind of like some police officers have.
