UPDATE: Tommy Hanson in a coma at Atlanta-area hospital

Too young. Went into a coma. Never came out of it.

RIP Mr. Hanson

I just saw he went into a sudden coma sometime tonight. Close friends said it was "not good". Catastrophic organ failure was the cause. Don't know what led to it.

29...body just shuts down. For an athlete? You'd figure he'd be in good shape. Odd.

it was drugs

This was my thought when I first saw the news, but I dont ever remember seeing his name linked to drugs.

Is there a known history?

OD'ing is sad? To his family, but not to me.

Don't do drugs, kids. Not that hard.

I remember that guy was horrible at controlling the running game. Historically bad. As in, Stephen Hawking would be a stolen base threat if Hanson was on mound - maybe even backwards.

I agree with @kramer1 : don't do drugs. Except for weed. Smoke a lot of weed, but don't to other stuff.

Still, sorta sad. RIP, kid.

Just awful.

Yikes

I read in a story that his YOUNGER brother died a few years back? Maybe it's something that has run through the family.
