CAL POLY - More bad news...

[3-7-77]

Paul Wulff, HC, and Timm Rosenbach co-OC, about a month after Sam Huard left for Utah, got another shocker today.
Keith Marco, OL, 21 y/o, died of a PE today. 21 and in the prime of his life. Christ!

Tragic!

 

[GrizSpartan]

Oh, no! This is a tragedy. What is PE?

 

[Bertram]

Pulmonary embolism

 

[AZGrizFan]

Not even gonna say it.

 

[Da Boyz Mom]

Not even gonna say it.

Yeah but we're thinking it.

My heart is with that kid's family. I cannot imagine thinking one day my child is healthy and in great shape and doing what they love, and then the next day you have to think about how to bury them. Now, as a parent, I just wouldn't wish this on anyone.

 

[EverettGriz]

GRIZ Nation mourns.

You just never know. A 25 year old KC Chief player -- from SFA -- went into cardiac arrest at OTAs today. Don't wait to tell people what they mean to you.

 

[ElrodGrizzly]

I know I have said this here before, but it was one of the harder lessons I have learned. To Everett's point, give people you love their flowers before the funeral.

I've read that an NFL game is the best place to have a medical emergency, outside of a hospital. I assume an NFL practice facility would be another "good" place. Lots of trained staff, doctors and equipment, ready to swing into action. I see that he was in a meeting when the seizure occurred. Hope he comes out of it well.
