Former Hawaii QB Colt Brennan dead at 37

Late Saturday night football was a lot of fun to watch in 2005-07.

Damn. Terrible for a father to need to speak about the death of his son. Hopefully this can lead to positive change in someone else's life going through something similar. Someway, somehow.

That's similar to what happened to my cousin; a sudden collapse and death. The autopsy showed a brain aneurysm and vein thinning blamed on prior cocaine use. Anyone that was once a heavy user of cocaine is at risk, the article doesn't mention cocaine use, but I wouldn't rule it out.

"Only hours earlier, Colt Brennan had tried to enter a detox program at an area hospital, but he was turned away because there were no beds available." :-(

" Terry Brennan said his son had ingested something laced with fentanyl and never regained consciousness."

No parent should have to bury their child. I know it happens and probably will continue,
but I can't think of anything that would cause a parent more hurt than this.

Seems horrific.

I know some folks who had to do that, a few were never the same. It hits people hard in a different way than many losses.

It was. As was listening to those Hawaii announcers say Timmy Chang. It cracked me up. Watched a lot of Warrior football back in the day and even got to see them in person out in Honolulu one year. Shame he lost the fight with drugs...

I didn't read the linked article because I read a different article an hour before I got on Gopherhole that one had cause unknown.

Not saying you are wrong. Something laced with Fentanyl could have been anything.
