So so sad.

Too young to die, especially from pneumonia. Poor guy must have had hellacious comorbidities.

RIP...I won’t forget the game at the OB when we wore those really weird yellow and green unis, but he had himself a game. It was against UNC if I remember correctly.

Edit - found a pic.

Actually, if he had pneumonia he most likely went septic and passed away from sepsis, which would explain why he passed away so quick. Unfortunately, my family is all to familiar with sepsis as my wife became a quad amputee from sepsis in August 2014. Pneumonia is the leading cause of sepsis at 35%.

If you aren't familiar with sepsis, I highly encourage everyone to learn more about it. For more on our story, please visit our website at www.suestull-sepsis.org.

Moss was a beast and I'll always remember the 2003 Pitt game where he scored 2 TDs and rushed for 100+ yards. The Pitt fans were the worst and told us "candy canes" to go home because we couldn't play in the cold. By the 4th quarter, they were the ones leaving lol. RIP Ty!

@IbzRlz - I reprinted your response since it got lost in the body of my original post.

I’m not sure what Tyrone actually died of, but it doesn’t negate the importance of your message and your family’s struggle. Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your story and most importantly your wife’s valiant struggle and recovery.

Best wishes to your family

Rest in peace Tyrone.

Besides being a great person, he ran like a freight train.

A Cane! Always a Cane.

Quick note fellas. I saw that the young man passed away from a heart attack. Not knowing too much about his health history or chronic conditions besides the knee he injured in college, but I have seen more and more young people suffering from cardiovascular disease that leads to infarct. Sometimes the issue can be congenital or genetic in nature, but usually there are common things that can help to prevent such insults. Big thing I see as a MD is folks not managing their high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. All three conditions if left untreated can lead to a host of cardio vascular deficits. Cholesterol is the biggest culprit as it has a genetic component to it and when high (LDL & Total Cholesterol), can lead to the forming of artherosclerotic plaque inside your arteries. Basically, think about trying to perfuse your body with blood/oxygen through a hose that has a diameter of a straw based on plaque buildup....basically, no bueno. Get checked out and get your yearly physical done, which comes with standard blood work.

Dr. MotoSniper, thanks for your informative post. My late husband played for the 'Canes in the early 60's and had an enlarged heart. I was told that a lot of athletes had enlarged hearts......is this a fact; if so, why? He passed away from cancer and when he was receiving chemo, I was told he had a strong heart.

Yes, that can be correct. In well-conditioned athletes, non-pathologic cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) is common as tissue restructuring occurs due to repetitive cardiac loading...essentially, the heart is a muscle just like a bicep or a pectoral muscle. It grows and strengthens with repetitive exercise. Athletes are able to "push more blood" during the cardiac cycle or better perfuse the body compared to an average joe. That is why well-conditioned athletes also have a typically low heart rate as the body doesn't need to perfuse blood at a quicker rate. Not uncommon for some athletes to average a heart rate in the 50s or even 40s without pathologic (bad) symptoms being present.
