coco1997 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hearing all over Twitter that ex-Braves RHP Tommy Hanson is in a coma after massive organ failure. Jordan Schafter tweeted that he has indeed died, though that may have been inaccurate/premature. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) RIP man. One of my favorites. Loved him with ATL. Too many injuries. He didn't stick with us but it was nice having a player I watched in our minors for a little bit. This s*** is just brutal. Rest easy buddy. Catastrophic organ failure at his age? Crazy. I'll be interested to see why. Edited November 10, 2015 by SouthSideSale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 So unfortunate. It seems like he had some issues with breathing on Sunday and he's dead just a day later. That's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 RIP. I have heard people say that the catastrophic organ failure was the result of a cocaine overdose, but I have no idea if that's accurate or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 RIP. I have heard people say that the catastrophic organ failure was the result of a cocaine overdose, but I have no idea if that's accurate or not. My wife is an RT at a Level I Trauma Center and she has said that when people under 40 have some catastrophic medical issue such as this, 95% of the time it is drug/alcohol related. There are some rare freak genetic issues that do account for the other 5%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the guy I was just curious. Life is so precious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
