I was just reading that, terribly sad. 

Now I am left wondering if it was a climbing accident or medical condition.

I really hope that these tragedies befalling Tuscalloosa and these players unite the Tide Nation, not just as an inspiration to the football team, but to everyone who bleeds Crimson.
