How many years did he play football and OTA'S in the Texas heat? I call BS

JoshMankiewicz That’s SAD. Really sad. So young…

I don’t believe this story.

JoshMankiewicz That’s so sad.. did he have nothing else left except exercise?

Sounds like a cover-up. So he’s exercised in hot (sauna-like) conditions before but this time he dies of heat stroke?

That makes more sense than the 1st report I read...
