Bears Defensive End, Gaines Adams reportedly dead.

USA Today

No word on cause of death. He was 26. Coronor says he appeared to have been “in good health.”

That’s a shame. On nfl.com there’s a blurb about it, mentioning only that he was experiencing “health issues” early this morning and died at the hospital.

Been a rough last few months with the NFL.

This is sad news to hear.

That’s a shame. Wonder what the autopsy will show as the cause of death? Young guy, in good health, no mention of foul play…

One of thew news service reports I saw said heart attack. Of course, that’s still a vague analysis of someone who is so young when they die. I was really shocked to read about this.

A nice little piece on him by John Romano, the St Pete Times columnist:
