Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams died Sunday morning of cardiac arrest, the Greenwood, S.C., county coroner said. He was 26.
Greenwood County coroner James T. Coursey told ESPN that Adams, a Greenwood native, was taken to the emergency room at Self Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9 a.m.
Adams, who had just completed his third season in the NFL, went into cardiac arrest at his family's home early Sunday morning, said Marcia Kelley-Clark, chief deputy coroner for Greenwood County.
The autopsy showed Adams had an enlarged heart, a condition Kelley-Clark said can often lead to a heart attack. But Adams' relatives didn't know about it.
Very sad day for Bears and Buccaneers fans. For those of you who don't know, Gaines was drafted out of Clemson #4 overall by the Bucs in 2007 and was traded this season to the Bears. He had a world of talent, but had so far been unable to use it effectively in the NFL. By all accounts, he was a family man and beloved by teammates. He will be missed.
RIP, Gaines.
