I think the Press release was carefully worded to avoid any public embarassment.
Yes I do believe he was dehydrated, but I believe he was probably "engaged in the partaking of adult beverages". I am not athelete, but even I know that alcohol in your system speeds up and enhances dehydration.
Lets do some math...1.In Vegas...2. At a party in Vegas...3. Shockey is an admitted party hound. 3. Its really hot in Vegas this time of year.
You cannot convince me that a person that is next to a swimming pool is going to get dehydrated while they are sober.
He had a few too many and passed out from dehydration. SO yeah you are right, it can happen to anybody.

I realize he was probably drinking, but what I'm saying is who cares. He's over 21, its the offseason, he wasn't driving, and as far as we know he wasn't doing anything in the least bit reckless. It's like Matt Leinart beer bonging with a bunch of girls in a hot tub, he's doing it on his own time so I really don't care.
Also as far as I know, Shockey has been pretty well behaved (please correct me if I missed something) since he's been with the Saints.
