Jeez, I thought that dying suddenly at age 29 by athletic youths was a new thing. I guess it’s not. Who knew?
Yep, and so far zero of the thousands MLB, NFL, NHL or NBA players have met this fate. So the death rate has to be well below 1 in a 1000.
Its always obscure European leagues, of which there are millions of players for.
We also seem to find out two weeks late that the cause was a car crash or OD.
(Next?)
Lets see if you can find 30 of them in a year. Other then 2021 and 2022.
hmmm.. guess you forgot to mention that Jacinda Barclay death was explained... “Barclay took her own life on 12 October 2020” Do you have any other examples of random athletes dying for no known reason?
Jacinda Barclay died by suicide.
More are dying now than ever before, but you know this. Its really not hard to find the statistics.
