wow. he had a heart attack and died. wow. do teams not have dedicated team doctors at every practice? this is a shame! teams should have nitroglycerin, oxygen, aspirin nearby at all times.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this on ESPN.com

Is it just me or does it seem like alot of athletes are having heart problems recently? I really think it has to do with the crap that they put into themselves for workout purposes. I dont know, this is just really sad.

NBA players should all have to learn basic and advanced first aid.

is that true Case? So if someone isn't breathing after just collapsing, you punch them in the chest?

It sounded like he died at home not at practice.

Hawks' Collier dies of apparent heart attack

By CHRIS VIVLAMORE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 10/15/05
Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collier died early Saturday morning of an apparent heart attack. He was 28.

Collier experienced chest pains and his wife performed CPR and called 911.

Hawks players were notified of Collier's death at 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning before a scheduled workout was cancelled.

Collier, who played at Georgia Tech, was the longest tenured Hawk player, joining the team for the 2003-04 season after spending three seasons in Houston.

depends on the case... if someone is having an arrhythmia, which means abnormal electrical activity in the heart causing the coordination of the valves and pacing of the heart beats to become irregular, an electrical shock to the chest or a punch to the chest might restore the regular electrical activity and rhythm of the heart.
