lol, yup, it was old news, I just thought it interesting since he died of an electrical disturbance from most likely hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The autopsy findings were just released however I didnt realize the death occured a coupla weeks ago.

Its an interesting thing that HCM stuff. Puts athletes and kids at risk for sudden death

Ill post the link

Its an interesting point, the guy was 7 feet tall and a professional basketball player. Meaning his heart is going to be bigger than everyone else's. Ill be curious as to what Mayo has to say about this case, its not an easy diagnosis. And if it contributed to his death, who knows.

The only way to find this stuff out is through tissuesamples, but you dont do that while they are alive, you can, but its never really done that Ive seen
