Pillsbury Throwboy. Big guys like that just don’t usually have a long life expectancy.
Sorry to hear the news. RIP

That was a pretty bad infection to shut everything down so quickly.
That's got to be hard for his friends & family to deal with.

Saw that on NFL.COM a few moments ago. There a few things more tragic than person going away in the prime of thier life. As an Angels fan it has been a tough few days Tyler Skaggs a pitcher passed away unexpectedly. It just shows how fragile life is and we gotta make an effort to be good to others and appreciate life daily.

I think he was like 600lbs at his most recent heaviest and also had severe thyroid issues as well.

Lorenzen disclosed in 2017 that his weight had spiked to 500 pounds. He was working at the time to inspire children to make good choices when it comes to food and exercise.

That type of weight gain is jaw dropping.

I didn't know he was already in such bad shape. That truly is sad.

It's sad. The net result is slow suicide.

RIP to a real one. I always liked him. Watching him make magic happen at Kentucky was a blessing to all football fans.
