#BREAKING: Former @HawaiiFootball quarterback Colt Brennan has died at 37, sources tell @HawaiiNewsNow.

I realize this isn't really SEC related, but thought people would wanna hear that don't make it over to the MSB.
quote:

His father said Colt Brennan was in his fifth month at a rehabilitation facility in California when he was found unconscious. He died Monday at a hospital in Newport, Califorina.

"He was doing so well, the spark was back in his eyes, and he was healthy and doing great, and it happened," Terry Brennan told the newspaper.

Terrible news. Was one of the coolest stories in college football in the mid 2000s.

RIP

May he RIP!

I wonder when we will start treating “RX drug addiction” as the issue it is!

A 2010 car accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, and that made it difficult to continue his football career.

Don’t remember hearing about that.

No idea if it’s the case here, but brain injuries can certainly affect someone’s personality and lead to uncharacteristic changes in behavior (often in a bad way).

It’s terrible reading about his subsequent struggles. I hope his family can now find some peace moving forward.

Rehab is for more than just drugs or alcohol. It can be to recover from physical problems as well. My mom, for example, just returned from a stay at a rehab clinic after nearly dying from an illness. It took a month for her to be able to get back on her feet.

Whether it was drugs or just some lingering after effect of that bad car wreck this is a sad thing. 37 is way too young to die.
