He was just at a party, doing what people do at parties. Give the guy a break, don't hate on somebody just for the sake of hating on them.

What you say is true, it can happen to anybody. But....
Shockey is a professional athelete, and if ANYONE can identify the early signs of dehydration, it is an athete.

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.
