RIP Jose Fernandez

[lovecraft68]

What a tragic end to an amazing success story. He recently tweeted how excited he was to be a father for the first time.

Sad to see an athlete who could be seen as an actual role model die so young and in this way, while so many of the worst examples of athletes continue to thrive and be rewarded for their bullshit.

I just saw this on NFL on Fox, so so incredibly sad. He was only 24.

Some small cig boat someone crashed into the stones showin off more than likely.

Because that makes it less tragic and him less dead.

(AP)...a spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard said Fernández was one of three people killed in the accident when a 32-foot boat crashed into a rocky jetty off Miami Beach.

Coast Guard Captain Megan Dean told reporters a Coast Guard ship on routine patrol noticed the overturned vessel around 3:15 in the morning on Sunday...

..."it does appear speed was involved, due to the impact."

I've seen this far too many times. Idiots with more horsepower than knowledge, experience or brains.


They scare the shit out of me on the highway and on the water.

He was so handsome and talented. I'm not even a baseball fan and this loss just breaks my heart.

It makes it an avoidable tragedy.

Kinda like you.

You left out Heath Ledger. His name stuck out to me recently when I saw Suicide Squad and the guy who played the Joker in that blew Ledger's joker away, but seeing he killed himself no one is ever supposed to admit anyone could be better.

Brandon Lee I wouldn't put with the others, that was a fluke accident during the filming of a movie, not drugs or pure stupidity.

I wouldn't put James Dean on that list either.

Nice sentiment here.

I saw him pitch in Atlanta last summer.
God he has a beautiful smile.

Ok, you're killing me here. Big Papi crying.

You engage me, stewpid.

 

[Super-Surprise]

Drunk and on Coke! Not too surprising really.

That combo plus a speedboat should count as a Darwin Award.

(Reuters) Miami Marlins star Jose Fernandez, a dominant pitcher and hero in Miami's Cuban community, was legally drunk and had cocaine in his system when he was killed in a boat crash in late September, autopsy and toxicology reports released on Saturday found.

The toxicology report showed that Fernandez had a blood-alcohol content of 0.147, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 for driving in Florida, and also had cocaine in his blood...

What a dumb list. At least two of these people don't belong.

BTW, the guy who shot Brandon Lee died a few days ago.
