Chris Bosh wakes up covered in his own blood

Maybe it's a bias because I follow Georgia tech news, but there seem to be too many of our athletes dying young.

Jason Collier was a first round pick on our basketball team and died at 24 of an enlarged heart.

Demaryius Thomas was a football star who died of a seizure at 33.

We had a current football player die at 21 during a fraternity dance routine about 5 years back.

And now Chris Bosh barely dodging the reaper for the second time.

It's been 20 years so that's literally hundreds of kids going through the football and basketball programs and single digits dying of different causes so maybe that's normal, but it just seems like a lot.

Not a doctor and don’t know the specifics of the GT players, but my assumption is that some young deaths (non gun, drug or car related)are simply random, colon cancer issues are tied to increasingly poor diets and lack of fiber, and some heart issues may be tied to prior COVID infections which can stress the vascular system.

Probably right. Just random events along with a selectivity bias.
 
Am I missing something here? I would have thought "covered in your own blood" was a lot more noteworthy and requiring explanation. Y'all treating it as if it's just kind of normal. What do you know that I don't?

I also thought it was odd that he shared the episode without sharing the source/ cause of the problem.
