Bad News................God Speed

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

man thats terrible news RIP....

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

That's bad. RIP man.

How many players does that make this year? 2 or 3 isn't it? It seems like there are more and more players passing away each year. I really don't remember this being a problem 5 years ago.

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

That's a sad situation.

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

He was a big o linemen, I kinda hoped we would draft, he was really underrated coming into the draft, and played well at the Senior Bowl. RIP

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

Wow, it really does make people to look in different perspective - anything can happen.. RIP Heath..

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

That's terrible. Feel for his family. Agree with hagams that this is happening way
too much.

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

RIP. Very tough story.

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

You really hate to hear stuff like this. I am sure he was very excited and anxious to become an NFL player.

I hope this was not the reason he is deceased:
[quote]Several NFL personnel men implied to Sporting News correspondent Russ Lande that Benedict showed signs of steroid use at the Senior Bowl, specifically the acne on his back at the weigh-in. The sources also said they were impressed by Benedict's muscular physique at the Senior Bowl weigh-in and practices. [/quote]

People really don't understand the ramifications of steroid use.
I will reserve further comment about him and steroid use until the autopsy comes back. You hate to give that kind of speculation unless his name is Barry Bonds.

Do you have a link, because I really want to know more about this.

Unsure of what you're talking about, unless of course you did not fully read the link that SS left on this first post of this thread. Read the full article...it's closer to the bottom.

Oh my bad, didn't get what he was saying thanks for the clarification.

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

It's sad to see such a young man go. R.I.P

I wish the best for his family and friends. :(

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

R.I.P. Heath, such a tragic loss.

Re: RIP OG Heath Benedict
 

Very heartbreaking story and so young. So unfortunate.

Doubt steroids killed him that young, who knows if he could've been combining drugs or really anything else that may have happened.

It may sound uncommon for people to die from steriod use, but it does happen. The heart doesn't always take whatever you give it.
Like I said, not sure if that was the cause or not...in fact, does anyone have a link to the results from the autopsy?

Could agree more. Anything that significantly changes body function has to be suspect and few things change it more than steroid use (positively and negatively).

No one should jump to conclusions, but this is a forum for open discussion and any discussion outside of how tragic it is could not exclude the genuine possibility.

Benedict cause of death heart condition. No traces of drugs or steroids. RIP

I hope it's true, it would be horrible to find out if it was because of roids.
