You really think a professional athlete dies of heat exhaustion?

Guy with over $2M net worth didn't have even a simple window AC unit in a Frisco, TX apt? Professional athlete who couldn't muster the strength to get to the fridge or sink, or dial a phone when he must have realized 'Hey, I'm feeling pretty warm & out of sorts'? Seems legit...

So he didn’t have an AirConditioner? WTF.

Or 💉?

Former Dallas Cowboy Marion Barber died of heat stroke, medical examiner saysTMZ Sports reports his body was found in his apartment with the heat on at 91 degrees. Investigators found exercise equipment at the scene, noting Barber had a 'history of exercising during sauna-like conditions.' That makes more sense than the 1st report I read... Sounds like a cover-up. So he’s exercised in hot (sauna-like) conditions before but this time he dies of heat stroke? I don’t believe this story.
