Not on-the-field football related, but a sad anecdote nonetheless.
Really sorry to hear this.

Dave Martin, a longtime Associated Press photographer based in Montgomery, Ala., died after collapsing on the Georgia Dome field after the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Tuesday night.
quote:
Martin, 59, ran onto the field immediately following Texas A&M's 52-48 win over Duke and took photos of Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin being doused with a water bucket by his players. Martin continued to take celebration shots before collapsing.
Martin suffered an apparent heart attack and was administered CPR on the field. He was placed on a stretcher and taken to Emory Hospital Midtown where he died early Wednesday morning.

Opened this thread expecting it to be about the chick that got run over in the first half.
Condolences regardless.

Me too, was starting to feel embarrassed because I made fun of that photographer earlier but it is a different one. Hope he had a good life and best to his family!
