What's Going On With College Football Players?

University of Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box died today, less than a week after Alabama offensive tackle Aaron Douglas was found dead.

How did they die? Natural causes, drugs, etc?

[SDoolittle]

It sounds like they both overdosed, but I don't know if it has been confirmed.

Someone told me Aaron Douglas died of overdose, but no confirmed source that I saw..My high school team played against him in the high school state semi-final game. It's wild and sad at the same time.

Well they are in college and are around drugs and alcohol a lot.

College kids overdose a lot, but we only hear about the ones in the spotlight.

To what I read Mr. Box may have died from an overdose of painkillers, after all the injuries he already had in his young life he was probably dealing with pain everyday.
