Former Clemson University football star Gaines Adams, 26, died this morning after he was taken to the Emergency Room at Self Regional in Greenwood, County Coroner James T. Coursey said.
Adams, a defensive end, was the fourth player chosen in the 2007 National Football League draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was traded from Tampa Bay to the Chicago Bears in October.
An autopsy will be performed today by a forensic pathologist in Anderson County, Coursey said.
RIP Gaines...very sad, very sad indeed.
Wow. Not much detail at all on his death thus far. Will be interesting to see what his autopsy reveals.
RIP
early reports are stating an enlarged heart caused his death.
RIP Gains Adams
26 years old :(
RIP my prayers to his family
RIP Adams.
Way to young to die.
RIP
I have e-mailed the NFLPA about finding a solution to these fatal accidents and an idea of pre-draft or training camp heart screenings that would be obligatory for the players.
It will save lifes in the long run..
Once again RIP
RIP Gaines....way too young.
This is a shame and my thoughts go out to his family and friends!
Way to young and something that with the extensive medical exams the players go through probably should have been discovered.
RIP Gaines
Truely is a shame
Thoughts go out to friends n fam
