How does an elite athlete die at 25 of "natural causes?"
He's in fucking tip-top shape in the prime of his life! It's anything but natural! natural?

I don't know it could be heroine, cocaine, pfizer or moderna.
Edit: seems he stopped playing in 2020 and pursued a rap career so... I'd give a little more weight to cocaine and heroine being culpable.
That would be an OD, not natural. Right?
Kinda brings back memories of Len Bias, but Len's situation is likely very different.
That was almost entirely Len's fault.
Cocaine on draft night.
He was dead the next day.
On the plus side, his death forced the NBA to crack down hard on drug use, something LONG overdue even in 1986.
