Bechler's Risk Factors For Heat Stroke

According to reports in the media, Mr. Bechler had the following risk factors for heat stroke:


a prior history of heat illness episodes while in high school - which heightens the probability of reoccurring incidents;

a family history of sudden death following exercise (his half-brother died of an aneurysm at the age of 20 after overheating from playing baseball);

a history of hypertension and liver problems;

he had not eaten solid food for a day or two, in an apparent attempt to lose weight;

he was apparently not adequately acclimatized to training in the heat and humidity of South Florida;

it appeared that he was wearing two or three layers of clothing during workouts, again, in an attempt to lose weight;

he was overweight and did not have a high enough fitness level to make it through conditioning drills; and,

he was allowed to exercise until he collapsed with a core temperature reportedly of 106° F before being removed from the field.
It has been extensively documented that untrained, overweight, and unacclimatized people who perform excessive exercise in heat/humidity are at great risk of heat illness and heat stroke—particularly if they have become dehydrated and are trying to lose weight quickly.

What do you mean......I don't see it anywhere in there that gives any reasons other than the ephedrine that caused his death...
And just think......people call him a "profesional" athlete. @ words for this guy...well actually 1.....DUMBASS!!! I know it's not good to talk badly about the deceased but how stupid can you be.

I hear you no disrespect to the dead, but the man just wasn't thinking. What pisses me off the most is his wife has the nerve to go after the supplement industry.

As I've always maintained on this board and in my life (i'm sure it's been said better by a philosopher or author somewhere though), the rational and educated individuals of a society will perpetually spend their lives simultaneously both paying for and ironically attempting to ameliorate the actions of the uneducated.
