Am I the only one wondering this about Reggie White?
Were steroids or other performance enhancing drugs involved in Reggie White's death? Whenever I hear about a top athlete dieing prematurely, my first thought is that steroids were to blame. I'd never heard any mention before about Reggie being juiced, but the way he dominated and now an early death makes me wonder.

2. Hate. Hate was probably to blame.
I suspect he was so filled with vile poison, it's a wonder he lasted as long as he did.

3. Nah, he was a big boy with a big appetite
... and African American tendencies toward heart attacks.

A male friend of mine (African American) in his late 30's, decent shape, doesn't drink or smoke, never took performance enhancing drugs, has already had THREE mild heart attacks.


:(


:hippie:

4. It was probably a number
of different things that led to his death...

Steroid use(maybe), being homophobic and having excessive body weight most likely did it though.

6. My husband heard he died from sleep apnea
but when I hear of anyone young(er) dying, I usually suspect drugs. I've had several friends who went that route; they abused their bodies for a long time, and then they were gone.

7. I bet it was heart attack due to non-use of help for sleep apnea
I have an aunt and uncle who suffer from it and both use vibrators to help them sleep.
