Grudes Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Total shock to me. I didn't know he had any health problems. Just shows how quickly you can be gone... http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/17263104/john-saunders-long-familiar-air-face-espn-nearly-30-years-died-age-61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BStowers023 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 That's too bad. I liked John Saunders. ESPN will never be the same without him and Stuart Scott. Edit: I can't seem to find out how he died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I can't seem to find out how he died? All I'm seeing is that it was sudden; undiagnosed illness, suicide, or some traumatic event like heart attack/stroke/etc are usually what that points to. Here's hoping it wasn't his family that found him; one of my parents' good friends just died of a heart attack at 53, but the guy was in great health. Retired U.S. Army Ranger, sportsman, racer, etc, guy was very active so it was a shock. His wife found him and she's still having a very tough time coming to grips with the man she knew vs the man she found dead in their kitchen.
