Endless amounts of crap being posted on Facebook 

 

I haven't seen a good recent summary of why it happened.

 

Very sad for someone so young and talented

Which is why I don't have a Facebook account.

Only thing I read was she had an existing condition which was unlikely to result in this.

Happens. Work colleague's wife and partner for 16 years dropped dead at the gym after she had the exact same a brain hemorrhage. She just given birth to their first child 3 months earlier. There was talk it may have been a result of childbirth but reality is nobody really know why it happens.

We had a boxing trainer drop in the gym late after classes with a stroke in his mid 20's.

 

At first we thought was a result of his boxing turns out totally unrelated. 

 

He was lucky the cleaner was there and saw him go down as she was trained in First Aid as she has had about 75 foster kids and got ambulance  and with him to hospital in 30 minutes.

 

Otherwise we may have opened the gym to a corpse in the morning.

 

Again though, easy to say "boxing did that" when it was in fact something totally seperate.

 

Strapping big fit lad too.

Often times when an athlete drops suddenly, it is NOT related to what they were doing, but rather an underlying health problem. Happens even at the high school level.
