One of the greatest players of all time and a class act off the field as well. You can't imagine many NFL players today setting up a shelter for the homeless in every city they play in AND paying for it themselves like Reggie did.
To die from sleep apnea, a very treatable condition, what a waste.
Exactly how does one die of sleep apnea?
The first thing I thought of was Steroids, especially since some early media reports said it was a heart attack.
Some forms of sleep apnea cause one to stop breathing during sleep, sometimes hundreds of times a night. I read that they believe he also had a lung condition that kept that organ from absorbing/transfering oxygen properly, and combined with the sleep apnea caused him to go into cardiac arrest. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6755927/
