[tomahawks11]

tony dungy has left the colts due to the sudden death of his son James, at the age of 18.... for more info go to www.nfl.com

My gym teacher told me that today. It was kinda random considering we were playing Handball and I was just sitting at goal (I had a shutout thank you very much). I didnt know he left the team though. That sucks for them.

[FallIntoIt]

I don't believe he left the team, per se, but he's definitely on leave for a while.

[tomahawks11]

thats what i mean hes left the team temporarily to be with family

[Palmettolax45]

jeeze he was having one of the best years of his life and then this happens thats horrible that just shows that some things just mean more than other things you could have everything going right then something like this happens. i feel really bad for Tony i hope no "foul play" was involved in his sons death.

[jedimasterPIMP]

Yeah i just saw this today on PTI, the cause of death is still unknown. But I think we could see some of the best football the colts have ever played in the upcoming weeks. When you play for somebody, that always happens (look at Brett Favre).

[RockfordAttack9]

Does anybody know who is going to step in for him?

[FallIntoIt]

The assistant coach, Jim Caldwell

The Colts qb coach, I forget his name.

they said on SC that no foul play was involved, so the next logcial progession is Drugs or alcohol. He was healty and athletic so i think that rules out regualr health factors, like caridac arrest.

[marflax33]

hmm.... Thats strange. To bad for the colts, hope they still do alright.

not true, one of my college teammates died of a heart attack playing hockey a year after i graduated. he just had a defect in his heart

[Mad-Max]

Its sad to hear that this all happened to Dungy, I've always liked him, he really seems to know the game and has succes. Hopefully this doesn't spoil the Colts superbowl run, but I still wanna see the bears going all the way

[pantherLax]

i heard it was suicide...but their still investigating

ESPN.com said the police didn't see any foul play, so I'm thinking that the PD is leaning towards suicide. Man it must be tough to lose someone this time of year.

[isuckatlax]

Yea on SC they said it was apparently suicide, the girlfriend found James Dungy after she left him for a few minutes to go for a walk(at 1:00am) she came in, saw him not breathing and called the black and white. they did CPR becaseu he wasnt breathing and then he was prononced dead at the hospital, they will know exactly what happedned after the autopsy. Thats whaat i hear.

Anyone else think it strange that the girlfriend leaves at 1:00am to go for a walk for just a few minutes and comes back and he boyfriend is dead?

I heard it was a suicide today on CNN.

Suicide is the most likely cause of death at this point and an autopsy is being run today.

I think if she was involved that it was a poising case.

[b_cannons_123]

The title of the thread is just not informative for those who hadn't heard of the death. They may assume he quite or was fired I just thought it should have been called something wlse more appropriate.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Yeah, I heard about it lastnight. Cause of death was suicide. I heard that lastnight. Where did he live?

[wilsontopowell]

gotta feel bad for dungy even tho i hate the colts, did his son play football?

[lyonslax98]

yeah they showed some clips of him playing in high school...i dunno if he was gonna play in college.

man my friend died in 03/04 and he was the healthiest kid I knew and we were only 11. That can happen to anyone.

James Dungy lived in Tampa, he was attending a community college there.
