That is horrible to hear. Brain injuries affect people differently, and we know so little about the brain so therapy and "fixing" the brain is a virtual unknown for the medical world.
Poor guy.
Something similar happened in HNA last year. The goalie for the Bulls died of a brain hemorrhage over the Xmas holidays. Mid 40's, and was a really nice dude. No one said it was caused by the game, but the game can be dangerous. I got concussed back in July when a mofo kicked me in the head while I was down making a save. I missed two days of work, and for two weeks I wasn't myself. Then I injured my back, which is another issue with head injuries.

Have a read if you're interested. There are some good pieces of info in the link.
My concussion symptoms probably continued after the back injury, but I was too messed up on painkillers and muscle relaxants to recognize. All said and done, I was out of the game for 10 weeks, and only now am I getting back to the strength I had prior to it all happening.
I lost 15 lbs from August to October, most of it muscle in my legs.
