Art Atwood Dies on 9/11

15 Sep

I heard about this relatively late, on Wednesday. I am told that he had a heart attack, while at a pool party at his own apartment complex. Some reports claim he drowned, but witnesses say he was dead by the time he fell into the pool.

What caused the heart attack, we may never know. He was 37 years old and it wasn’t a “steroid overdose” but possibly (allegedly) something recreational. Let’s hope there is an investigation, or forensic blood work so we understand what the circumstances were.

I have to admit, I personally didn’t follow his career that closely, but I am shocked to hear that he passed away at such a young age.
