Title: ESPN Writer Ivan Maisel Tragedy Post by: Marshal Dillon on April 20, 2015, 06:49:52 PM I can not imagine his loss. Sad. Ivan Maisel is from Alabama.
Quote The body found Friday in Lake Ontario is that of Rochester Institute of Technology student Max Maisel, 21, who had been missing since Feb. 22 and was last seen around the Charlotte Pier. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/body-found-in-lake-ontario-identified-as-max-maisel-son-of-espn-writer/ar-AAboE4d Title: Re: ESPN Writer Ivan Maisel Tragedy Post by: SUPERCOACH on April 20, 2015, 07:34:11 PM I heard about that. Have they figured out what happened to him?

Title: Re: ESPN Writer Ivan Maisel Tragedy Post by: Marshal Dillon on April 20, 2015, 08:04:34 PM I heard about that. Have they figured out what happened to him? You might find this shocking, but Ivan said he believes his son committed suicide. That was his belief, not a finding by the police, as of yet. Ivan must be aware of some problems his son had. Like I said, I can not imagine the grief. Title: Re: ESPN Writer Ivan Maisel Tragedy Post by: SUPERCOACH on April 20, 2015, 08:16:47 PM I heard about that. Have they figured out what happened to him?

Like I said, I can not imagine the grief. I suspected that, but that is a really strange way to do it. And apparently he didn't leave a note, or want them to find his body. It sounds like he hated his parents or something and wanted to cause them as much pain as he could on his way out of this world.

Max was certainly loved.

He came up in a family of Alabama Crimson Tiders, so he was trained by three generations to feel a certain way about Alabama’s archrival. Now, I must tell you my line of work takes me to Auburn regularly, and I have friendships there that have developed over my 30 years of covering college football. But that was a subtlety that escaped our 12-year-old son. I once introduced the Sports Information Director to Max, as “my friend from Auburn, Kirk Sampson,” to which Max reflexively replied, “But, Dad — you hate Auburn!” He was taught well. It's always tough to lose a fellow Bama fan. :( Title: Re: ESPN Writer Ivan Maisel Tragedy Post by: SUPERCOACH on April 21, 2015, 09:53:06 AM Read the eulogy he gave and later posted on the web due to many requests.

I don't think he hated his parents, he just wanted to quietly slip away unnoticed. It's a sad, sad story. |
