“Dies suddenly” seems suspicious

Takes time to get a toxicology report back.

Absolutely gutted. Beyond gutted to hear the news of the passing of my dude Aldon Smith.
Can’t believe it. Mannn, just gutting.

I was so damn proud of the journey he and I took together to get him back into the league after being out of the NFL for 4 years. But also the journey we took in being real and vulnerable to try to be better in this crazy game of life.

I was proud of what we learned from each other and the brotherhood bond we formed.

Proud that after 4 years out he showed that anything is possible.

I will never forget the day when he came over to my house to sign his contract with the Cowboys so we can be proud together. But even cooler, he wanted to sign it in front of my son Sammy so he would be proud too as he had a front row seat to it all.

Soooo proud, through the ups and downs, still so proud! And I always will be.

This one definitely hurts.

What a way to include yourself into the news of Alden Smith’s passage from this life into the next, Jay.

RIP. On a side note, I had never heard of somebody sleeping under their car.

Learn something new everyday.

Well, if you sleep under someone else's car, they might show up and try to drive away with you under it. Much safer to sleep under your own car,,,

I don’t think you remember but everyone was done with Aldon before he became a Cowboy. Glazer helped
Him get back in.

C.T.E. is real.

Seriously. Just stop.

This most likely wasn’t a CTE death.

It was most likely associated with his chronic drug use, heart disease because of chronic drug use, a possible stroke, an acute overdose, or a combination of all of those.

Wait on the autopsy and toxicology, and stop with the conspiracy theories.

Seriously. I will post what I want. You may do the same. I know that might be a mind boggling concept for you but please give it a try.

Okay. You believe in conspiracy theories instead of the most likely truth that is right in front of your nose. I get it.

Just an FYI… CTE doesn’t cause instant and unexpected death.

A conjecture is an educated guess or opinion formed on the basis of incomplete information. It is a conclusion drawn from reasoning or observing patterns, rather than absolute, hard proof.

Good point......but I dont think I can fit under my G37 though.

The interesting thing is that about his posts are that CTE is real. CTE is a serious health problem for players.

It just doesn’t cause instant unexpected death in that way.

Suicides yes. But not just dying out of the blue. If reports were that Aldon took his own life, than CTE would be a suspected factor in that. But we still wouldn’t know until an autopsy of his brain was performed.

I agree. People need to chill and let the professionals do their work. My sister is a forensic scientist who specializes in doing toxicology tests to determine cause of death. But that takes time. It’s not a next day thing.


Anyway. RIP to Aldon. He was trying hard to turn his life around and still helping others to the end. Drug addiction is a serious and sad thing. It’s awful.

Well, isn't this kind of what you are doing? Could it be a mix of both? One that led to the other? That's all that needed to be said
