Very sad news off the wire.

First reaction - heat stroke. Second reaction - more likely a heart failure like Dan Lowe. Unfortunately, death is sometimes the first symptom of a heart condition.

Kent had a player pass away a few years ago, and it was due to a heart condition.

Tragic

I'm no medical expert, but from some browsing it looks like a lot of the potential conditions that can lead to these situations can be discovered with more thorough physical exams including X Rays, MIR's, etc. I would think that there will be more pressure for this type of pre/prep analysis moving forward - from players, parents, and therefore Universities, athletic associations, and/or conferences legal depts. Or, at minimum fights over appropriate construction of waivers.....

Yeah, probably nothing to do with the heat. It happened in the morning before it was really hot. It's probably one of those cases when no one could have known.

These things are expensive but worth it when lives are involved.

For the second time in the past few years, an NBA prospect was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. It sucks that these guys had their professional careers halted so abruptly but in the grand scheme of things it's very fortunate that they had such in-depth physicals to discover them.

In order to promote the time-honored, thread-drift tradition of BA, I'll point out that some have theorized that Abraham Lincoln had Marfan Syndrome. Since this possibility was first posited it has sparked a lively debate among historians.

For a little background see:

When you are doing 500 athletes that is very cost prohibitive. Only deeper checks if the routine physical turns something up. Hell took years to get Universities to test for Syckle Cell for a portion of their athlete population

Radio report says tests show hyperthermia--body produces more heat than it can dissipate.
