I ignored it because you provided nothing I can look at. It's the internet, provide a link.
Besides, I'm quite familiar with Dowd's shtick. He bases his analysis on life insurance actuarial data which contains no information about how sudden or unexpected a death was. Nor about thE see lifestyle of those who died.
It would be impossible to use that data to support your claim about athletes.
“I’m quite familiar with Dowd’s shtick.”
