I never did tell you, guttsy move in doing this. KUDOS! There are some on this board that are really against this idea for a myriad of reasons. I say it is your dynasty not a forum up for debate (although I am sure you being the person you are would listen to all sides) and can do as you wish.
Keep up the great work my friend!

Well, I will reveal that this is the only former player death that will occur during this (WPK) calendar year. Certainly as more former players start to get up there in age there will be more deaths every year. And the deaths will be much less likely to be so dramatic and violent. I used demographic information I found online to create the causes of death for various age ranges and the simple reality is that when younger men die the causes are more likely to be something dramatic- suicide, accident, homicide- than when older men die.
