Died at 25, allegedly due to natural causes

Rest in peace , once part of our 76ers CSL family.

Described as a very good guy.

RIP Caleb

As a non-native English speaker, I did not get the ''natural causes'' part. Is this just a way of saying that he wasn't killed? I mean, I get an 80 year old dying of 'natural causes' i.e old age, but 25 year old? Would cancer be natural cause also?

Health problems count as natural causes. He was severely overweight very soon after leaving the NBA.

Man, gone way too soon. Rest in peace.

Yeah, I think it's a placeholder for neither homicide nor suicide.

So after looking this up, in the United States at least, there’s two parts to death determination:

1. Cause of death (what actually killed them)
2. Manner/Mode of death (Largely a legal point - could be natural causes, suicide, homicide, undetermined, and pending)

Yeah that’s really sad and far too young to pass away.

I remember reading about his weight issues back before he was even in college, then obviously being at Purdue he got into better shape but it was always a struggle.
