Died of a Heart Attack at 34. Sad news.

Edit should say Traylor

Read this earlier today. Sad when someone goes so early.

R.I.P.

Carrying around 300 lbs, or less but still overweight on a smaller frame, certainly makes a person more prone to a heart attack.

I wonder if all such athletes at any level receive EKG and treadmill testing regularly. And if the physicians of overweight non-athletes administer the same regularly.

And if our declining medical coverage and placement of less trained doctors, due to the economy, are going to make it worse.
