Eric the Red Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Cause of MU player's death is unknown Vahe Gregorian, St. Louis Post-Dispatch COLUMBIA, Mo. - As a spontaneous memorial to Aaron O'Neal flourished at the north gate of Faurot Field, and plans for official services were clarified on Thursday, the cause of his sudden death Tuesday after a voluntary workout remained unclear after a preliminary autopsy. "Pending further studies - that's the cause of death right there," Boone County medical examiner Valerie Rao said. Quote Link to comment

kramer Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I don't beleive anyone is at fault. I hate reading about things like this. I hope his family can somehow get better. Quote Link to comment
formerfan Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'm sorry to hear about that. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Quote Link to comment
hoyamannn Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 This is terrible news. Prayers to his family and friends. This was discussed on the radio last night by NU Strength Coach Dave Kennedy. He said it is a Dr recommendation whether to practice in the heat or not. Apparently they measure the heat/humidity to determine if it is dangerous to practice or not. However, cases like this will continue to happen every year. It appears from that article that this was not just a freak occurance? Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Very very sad - and scary at the same time. He sounded like a real class act: In an attached note, Harrington wrote, "It is a cold world without you and I miss you much ... You never caused problems or had to be loud to get attention, you were you and all you by yourself, and I loved that." Quote Link to comment

Huskerfan66 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Prayers to his family, may God stay by their side! It is really awful when it happens unexpected like that-it sounds like he wasnt invloved in anything too strenuous at the time either. Quote Link to comment
Spartness Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 How can his parents possibly deal with this? Is there any more info on why this happened? What a tragedy! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 O'Neal is the MU player who unexpectedly died last week during practice. Im merging this with the existing thread on this topic. Quote Link to comment
