Google sports related deaths from sickle cell. The paramedics that responded to the camp found him breathing but unresponsive. The first medical examiner found sickle cell to be the causation of death. A second medical examiner found death by asphyxiation.
actually..the first doctor found the cause of death to be internal bleeding...which he subsequently dismissed as a result of sickle cell...even though the video clearly shows several blows to the abdomen and including knee shots

” A teenager who was beaten by guards in a state-run boot camp for juvenile delinquents died from internal bleeding caused by a blood disorder, not from injuries he may have suffered in the beating, a medical examiner reported”
Find “internal beeding” as a symptom of sickle cell death...
becuase I can find no listed case yet...
They all involve renal failure or cardiac arrest...not sudden internal bleeding..
