Sad to see sports people go early. They should survive us all (us being non sports people).
Although not a fan of Rugby union ( and even less the other lot) I am aware of him. By all accounts a good bloke. Many people will be sad.

Funnily enough I was thinking exactly this or should I say whenever a great Sporting Personality passes away I always think ' That's a bit young for someone who must have been fit '.....but I suppose rugby players and footballers from a certain era drank and smoked like ordinary people - My Mam made 77 and she sat in her chair for the last 20 years of her life smoking woodbines and drinking the best part of a half bottle . |

Did lots of running, marathons and that sort of thing. Dropped down dead in his kitchen after coming home from a training run. He was in his early 30s - they found out afterwards that he'd been born with a hole in his heart and it had never been diagnosed or caused any problems. |

Look at the recent batch of footballers, Tom Lockyer, Christian Eriksen, Daley Blind...all these guys have special intensive medical at various stages and none of their problems were detected either. My ex-wife and her brothers have all inherited heart defects from the paternal side (sadly it took her and one of the brothers suddenly dying to find this out). |

Ah yes, but did she play rugby ? How many gym bunnies and marathon runners keel over during exercise...sadly I know of a few I was never a marathon runner but did regularly do my cardiac rehab sessions in the gym. I fainted on one occasion and awoke in the familiar setting of Nottingham QMC cardiac unit a week later. Apparently my 'faint' was a bit more serious than a real faint. I had dropped dead. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for my pension providers and extended family someone saw me go down and there had been a rather splendid effort at resuscitation, CPR and defibrillation. I am one of those rare people who have survived an out of hospital VR event without obvious brain damage. Learning how to do CPR and use a defib machine might save someone's life. Doing CPR might of course cause your own demise. I reckon that I could do it for short bursts as part of a relay team. I wonder how many people who have died while doing exercise might have been saved with the right treatment by bystanders. Not all of them certainly. If the heart stops then a defibrillator won't restart it. If the heart goes into ventricular fibrillation then a defibrillator will stop it and there is a significant chance that the heart will restart in more or less normal co-ordinated sinus rhythm.
