        What I particularly hate with incidents such as this, are the cookers crawling out from their holes automatically blaming COVID vaccines. This is an ezceptionally sad day for his friends, family and supporters. A close examination of cause, and pushing conspiracy theories is just shithouse.

        An absolute tragedy for his family and loons latching onto that tragedy is disgusting.

        Fatal illness in very fit, healthy young people such as Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a lot more common than people think.

          Pretty poor form from ABC news here in Oz who write Medical Event in quotation marks as if they think otherwise

            A source that was close to him said he had recently had a contract in Japan lined up and it fell through. Not making a speculation or anything but absolutely way too young to pass away

              @mikey07 not true. He was catching up with family in chch before going back to Wellington. Then he was off to Japan.
              Had a medical event and passed. Sounds like some sort of heart issue.

                  Cardiologist neighbour tells me sudden heart attacks are the single biggest cause of death in top-level sports. Thinks around 50-70 die in the UK each year.

                    I'm not a proper athlete, but when I had a stroke in my early 30s I was shocked to hear how often it (and heart attacks) happen to young(er) people.

                      I guess when you push your body to the limit, sometimes it breaks 😞

                        I didn't understand everything, but from what he said, it's really hard to detect abnormalities when people are uber-fit, but abnormalities can manifest quite quickly.

                          Also getting fit/strong is caused by micro-tears in your muscles (including heart) repairing and growing stronger. Sometimes they don't repair if you never give them enough time - ultra distance types are very susceptible. Same reason vegetables are good for you, the reason they are a bit bitter is they are very slightly poisonous, but if you don't overdose (hard to) your body gets stronger fighting against it - along with all the vitamins etc 🙂 Well it's a theory anyway

                              There will be tributes for him at the Super Rugby Pacific final tomorrow between the Blues and Chiefs at Eden Park, as well as at a community rugby level and the First XV match of his old school, Scots College.
                              
                              Scots College director of rugby Dom Bird said in a statement issued to the wider Scots rugby community that as well as black armbands and a minute’s silence pre-match, there may be an opportunity for haka to honour Garden-Bachop.
                              
                              “In honour of Connor’s memory and his impact on the team and community, we will be holding a minute of silence before the start of the games this weekend, and where appropriate our teams may present a haka in his memory.
                              
                              “Our teams will also wear black armbands. These gestures will mean a great deal to Connor’s family, friends, teammates, and supporters.”
                              
                              New Zealand Rugby chief communications officer Paul Stevens said there would be widespread tributes for Garden-Bachop across senior rugby grades in Wellington, with an opportunity for similar in Otago.
