Sad. Only 52? He worked a playoff game just this month, so hadn't heard of any heatb issues.

I heard on the radio that he had a procedure on his knee and there was a complication with a blood clot that led to his demise. Very sad situation and it shows that there is no minor procedure when you’re going under the knife. Just a horrible story.

 

I had a friend pass away during a procedure to remove kidney stones. He was 46.

 

RIP.
