Shit. R.I.P Jason Collier. He was a decent backup centre for the Hawks.

He wasn't a really good player, but as a human being it's always sad when someone dies.

WFAN reported it was cardiac arrest. This heightens Eddy Curry's situation. Scary.

Hawks C Collier passes
October 15, 2005

ATLANTA (Ticker) - All of a sudden the start of the upcoming season does not appear too important for the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks were saddened on Saturday by the passing of center Jason Collier due to cardiac arrest.

Due to initial reports, Collier, 28, died in his sleep earlier in the morning.

Collier, who scored six points and grabbed two rebounds in 16 minutes of the Hawks' 109-105 preseason victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday, was entering his sixth NBA season and third with Atlanta.

The club canceled an open practice scheduled for Saturday and is expected to released more details when they become available.

Playing two seasons collegiately at Georgia Tech, Collier appeared in a career-high 70 games with the Hawks last season, averaging 5.7 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Wow that's shocking... I feel sorry for the Hawks, it's not enough that they're the worst team in the league, but for something like this to happen aswell (N) It might actually inspire his teammates, who knows. RIP.
