maggsmaggs Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Not to be a bad guy here, but you wonder how this happens and what kind of stuff Adams was taking throughout his career (even in HS). It's just not natural for a 26-year-old to have a heart attack and these guys take so many supplements that it has to negatively affect the body. Very sad day though.

zenryan Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Damn. RIP QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 17, 2010 -> 12:02 PM) The Bears should get compensation somehow for him. Did other teams get compensation for when they had a player die? I dont believe they did so I dont see how the Bears can get anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think something like this would have been found by now. How often do they do complicated things like full-body MRI scans or EKG tests during a standard physical? If he'd never had any issues with losing consciousness or something like that, there's usually not a need to do that. There's also the possibility it could have been brought on recently through something he was taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why every High School gym now contains a difibulator, these kinds of things do happen and surprisingly often at that. According to the coroner Gaines lived for 26 years with an undiagnosed enlarged heart, you don't have to be on drugs to go into cardiac arrest in your younger years, there are many basketball and hockey players that can attest to that.
