I wonder about his health leading up to this. It seems from the photo that he had gained quite a bit of weight.

I really don't know of him, but 44 is just too young for anyone.

RIP.

I was bowled over when Lyle Alzado died. He claimed that steroid use caused his health problems, and I don't doubt it.

I really am sorry about Duckworth -- that's way too young for anybody, as Christie says. Part of me wants it to be about drugs because then there's a reason, part of me wants it not to be because then it means he didn't sacrifice half his life to drug use.

I attended EIU with Kevin Duckworth and knew him a bit. What a sweet, gentle giant.

What a shock.
