Not sure if this was posted anywhere else, but thought it should be shared. Sounds like he was hit by a train while out for a run. Even if he was a hawkeye/rival, that is a terrible way to go, Prayers to his family and friends.

if you gotta go, getting hit from behind by a train isn't so bad. It was likely instantaneous death so he probably didn't feel it and he didn't see it coming.

not that it matters, he started two or three years at right tackle.

3 year starter at Iowa. Doesn't sound like he stuck in the NFL.

I thought I heard that his family was donating his brain to science for CTE research.

Why someone would think that going for a run on train tracks, that are still in use, is a good idea.

It's a terrible idea. Apparently, there were a couple sets of tracks by his parents' house. One set had trains running east and the other west so they think he may have got confused and thought he would be running towards a train.

This seems like the only logical explanation.

Little kids play on the tracks near our house. I go tell them to move or tell their parents but they will be back in a week or two. Neighbor called the cops last week, will see how long it lasts.

The only way this is logical to me is if he was wearing noise cancellation Beats while jogging.

If I remember right, wasn't the dude huge? Probably gave the train all it could handle.

I'm no expert on train tracks, but wouldn't he feel the vibrations on the tracks if a train was coming his way? Just wondering. Anyway, sad deal.

If you're standing probably. Not if you're running.
