  2. My usual guess for this sort of thing is too much recreational drugs. But health isn't guaranteed no matter how you live your life.

    That's possible, though I know stress can cause coronary artery disease, especially when mixed with a high saturated fat diet and lack of exercise (post high school baseball).
     
  4. I don't know if they did a autopsy or not, but I would think that there was a heart problem of some sort to die that young from a heart attack.
     
  5. Well spotted !!!
    Now I don't know if we could add this one, on the number of deaths in the financial industry:
    there were so many "suicides", that may be new "methods" have been adopted.

    Highly likely this was a preexisting condition that wasn't previously diagnosed. A lot of people have weird heart issues that they don't otherwise know are present unless they're specifically seeking diagnosis of them. I myself had a bundle block that was only diagnosed after seeing a cardiologist over concerns of something else (that turned out to not be an issue). Thankfully it's a benign condition and mainly related to conductivity and not mechanics of the heart. In this guy's case it could have been something more sinister like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is a leading young athlete killer.

    Must have been the pressure. The suicides that were mentioned here due to a criminal investigation that is taking place.
