As a college hoops junkie, hearing this news simply breaks my heart.

His lifestory included experiencing homelessness as a child before being adopted. He received his degree while majoring in educational history at Purdue.

R.I.P.

Sh*t! I know we all have to go at some point, but it's a real gut punch to open up a forum page and see these young people leaving here so soon. 😞 Be at peace, young Caleb.

Horrible news. Way way too young. He was a baller

terrible so young. How does a 25 year old die of natural causes?

His weight swelled up during the pandemic. He was 300+ pounds in high school and his dad was reported to be close to 500 pounds when he died at age 50.

EDIT: I just saw someone post a recent music video where he was looking slim again. All those drastic weight changes must have been hard on his body.

A friend just shared a pic with me... one year later after the NBA he put on a TON of weight.

Very sad story. Most likely had personal issues or something terrible going on in his life to put on that kind of weight in such a short time

This is so very sad. He has passed way too young and was an outstanding player for Purdue.

 

[RUPete]

Hate to hear something like this. He fought against so much.

Interesting to read all the expert internet autopsies on this tragic news. Just terrible news to go along with the NFL happenings of the last few days as well.
He was a good ball player and seemed like a solid individual from watching him play.

They don't. We all know what killed this poor kid.

who did an autopsy? 25 year olds DO NOT die of natural causes.

what ??? articles seem to have no clues

 

[Scangg]

He gained an insane amount of weight in a year. He went from NBA to enormous. It's very sad but that's a lot of stress on a very big body to begin with

Rule out Covid

he was masked. 😷

Hank Gathers would disagree.

Durrrr why do libtards make everything political, durrrrr.

Rule out empathy, because you're not a good person.

This poor guy had a life long fight with obesity. It was a problem in college and it was a problem afterwards. Very sad.

 

[ecojew]

Just a very sad story. Some people are able to overcome the problems they experience early in life while some cannot. It must be difficult for a young boy to experience real hunger and then exercise self control when there is plenty to eat. The mind must play tricks on the body so that it eats more now for the hungry days to come. So tragic that it ultimately killed him at 25.

Life choices, I’m old enough to remember a certain political crowd that shamed and mocked people for making a certain medical choice after they passed away.

still confused. What medical choice did he make? and how did it contribute to his death?

 

[ElmiraExpress]

Do you mean because he was overweight? There are lots and lots or overweight people who do not die at such a young age.

Hank cannot agree or disagree sadly.

Yep, you’re usually confused SyracuseFan Express

You took Step-1

It was a drug overdose?

 

[ElmiraExpress]

It was a drug overdose?

oh wait, that was Len Bias, not Hank Gaithers, who died of a drug overdose … yes, I suppose I am usually confused again.

Which is why the ignore button is such a great addition to TKR. And yes, he is on it.

You're not confused, he's just a moron.
