Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman [Bryan Robinson](http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000668793/article/former-bears-defensive-lineman-bryan-robinson-dies-at-41) was found dead in a hotel room on June 13.

Lester’s is a sad case. He had built a successful acting career based on “fat guy” roles. But he realized his weight was killing him so he decided to lose weight even if it ruined his career. He lost the weight, lost his career, and then ended up dying anyway. ---
