When I was a kid in 1989, my dad took me to a High School Football game for High School he worked in (He was an Algebra teacher.) Early in the game my dad school was trailing 7-0 in the 1st quarter I believe. When his school got the ball, during the play one of the players collapsed. I was too young to know what happened, but I saw fans & students crying. Then the fire truck & ambulance came, they took the football player away. The game was cancelled after that. He had suffered cardiac arrest & never woke back up. His father died in 1975 from a heart attack, one week prior his grandfather died from heart disease.
After what happened to Damar Hamlin brought back memories. I hope he recovers soon.
