Missed his 20th Bday by days. Terrible news. My condolences to his family, friends and Beav Nation. From Corvallis Gazette Beat writer Cliff Kirkpatrick "Just heard from multiple places that Oregon State freshman DT Fred Thompson died from a heart attack in the Dixon Rec tonight." https://twitter.com/#!/CliffGT

I hope they find a way to better diagnose potential heart problems in the future. It is just so sad that this happens.
wow I'm late to this news. But very sad. Thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and Beaver fans.
I too hope they find potential heart problems like this. Its not like he was practicing in 90+ degree heat like you hear about other HS/College football players dying in the summer time. This is sad news.
