49ers offensive lineman Thomas Herrion had heart
disease and evidence of previous heart trouble
when he collapsed and died after a pre-season
game last month, an official in the Denver County
coroner's office said Tuesday.
The coroner's findings confirmed
the beliefs of Herrion's family and friends, who
were certain drugs played no role in Herrion's
death Aug. 20. Herrion's heart condition was caused
by factors that are often nearly undetectable,
though fairly rare in a 23-year-old athlete in
good physical condition. |
I for one am glad this news came
like this. Hopefully, now people can really get off
the idea that all BIG NFL players are overweight, or
that drugs or steroids were involved in any way.''
