If tweet fails to load, click here. Sources are saying a battle with depression, which implies suicide. Sad to hear, the guy was still relatively young in age. I absolutely loved watching the Sport Science segments on ESPN, found it so interesting to see the scientific analysis of different sports.

Awesome series back in the day. Feel like he was on the forefront of analytics before anyone else...even though it was more biomechanical stuff.
Sad to hear he lost the battle with depression. RIP.

RIP. Sports Science was fantastic.
Side note: what a massive disappointment Jamal Adam's was at the pro level

Geez that’s creepy listening to him talk about having a noose around his neck

He sounds like he’s doing Sports Science just by talking normal.
