"The St. Louis County medical examiner has ruled that a 13-year-old football player who collapsed during practice in August died as a result of hypertensive cardiovascular disease — high blood pressure.Wanna bet it will be the school or docs who are (rightly) sued for not performing their mandated by law duties, while the other, even more culpable, perpetrators, i.e., the parents, will get off scot free.
Anthony Troupe Jr. was 6-foot-2 and weighed 383 pounds at the time of his death. The medical examiner, Dr. Mary Case, says she couldn't directly link the death to Anthony's size, but obesity is a risk factor. Case also says that death from high blood pressure is uncommon in someone Anthony's age.
Anthony collapsed before he finished running a lap before practice. His father died at age 45 in 2007 due to high blood pressure and clogged arteries."
