November 10, 201510 yr 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.
November 10, 201510 yr @ZachKleinWSB: Per MLB source, former #Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson has passed away He was 29 #RIPTH ?
November 10, 201510 yr Wow, incredibly sad. His career was so promising until injuries set him back. RIP.
November 10, 201510 yr 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, 201510 yr by SouthSideSale
November 10, 201510 yr So unfortunate. It seems like he had some issues with breathing on Sunday and he's dead just a day later. That's crazy.
November 10, 201510 yr 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.
November 10, 201510 yr 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%.

There are some rare freak genetic issues that do account for the other 5%. Not saying it is but that's what I wondered. Closet alcoholic maybe like C.C. Anywho, not passing judgment. I liked the guy I was just curious. Life is so precious.
November 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 06:09 AM) I believe Tommy's younger brother died very young as well. Just awful. Yep, in 2011 I think.

November 10, 201510 yr What did his younger brother die of? Do they have some sort of bad genetic make-up or both using drugs/alcohol?
