Bad week for young athletes...they just found a 21 6yo kid from the University of Alabama dead in Florida...

Autopsy showed Boogaard death is an accident, from a toxic combo of alcohol mixed with oxycodone. Its a painkiller he was probably taking for his concussion symptoms.

RIP. Sad to see that happen.

Thought this was interesting. A San Fran writer ponders links between chronic traumatic encephalopathy and suicides.
