    Darryl Dawkins, whose backboard-shattering dunks earned him the moniker "Chocolate Thunder" and helped pave the way for breakaway rims, has died. He was 58.

    The Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, coroner's office said Dawkins died Thursday morning at a hospital. No cause of death was immediately announced, and an autopsy was scheduled for Friday.
