Given that he was normal then found dead randomly I would guess Enlarged heart. But thats only a random guess, I am a paramedic and I have seen far too many athletes die of it. Its a horrible condition that usually goes under the radar.

Just had a whole unit on deaths like these occurring in young athletes. Hopefully we continue to learn more to recognize it earlier so these deaths can be avoided.
