Sometimes life makes no sense. May God be with you, young Mr. Ehlinger.

Does anyone else think it is odd that we don't know the cause of death at this point?

It’s not considered suspicious. I really don’t care to know more. So sad for his family and teammates.

It's an honest inquiry. Kids this age don't generally just check out without something helping them along the way. We all obviously hope it isn't how it happened. And I understand some may be put off by the question. But most people reading the headline were already thinking it. Spot was just the one to ask it.
In a perfect world, everyone would choose hard work, morals and ethics over obscene money and fame. And everyone outside of Lowrents would be required to be a red blooded, card carrying Payhawk hater.

Of course it's not. Until it is. Terrible, horrific experience for the Ehlinger family and my heart goes out to them.

But if it was from a poor decision, that needs to be used to counsel kids that look up to this young man and his elevated position in life. Education from tragedy is important to try and do what you can to decrease the occurrence for someone else. Tragic loss of a young life no matter the circumstances though, no doubt.
