Sounds like a coverup. Because top physical specimens in the prime of life usually don't turn up dead without something causing it.
If the coroner cannot identify a cause, it absolutely MUST be COVID-19; that’s just ‘the law’! </sarc>
Top specimens do occasionally die naturally, from a combo of some defect combined with brutal workout regimens. Defects that might hide quietly in most people.
Then add in widespread use of PED and steroids etc, (not saying -he- did that) and it really isn’t super uncommon.
I think in this case it might be worth waiting for an autopsy, and also to see if he got the shot yesterday or something.
But it may not be a coverup.
Drugs. Big surprise.
First thing I thought of was Len Bias. It’s possible he had an undiagnosed heart condition or blood clots. Very rare, but possible.
It has happened to several high schools athletes in our area. They had heart defects never detected; some dropped dead during games. Only after an autopsy was heart disease found.
Suicide and/or OD are not considered “suspicious”. It’s only suspicious if there are injuries or circumstances consistent with homicide.
It could ALSO be a situation where cops know some things that we don’t and have put one and one together.
Like Len Bias?
