People are now theorizing that he may have suffered the same injury as Natahsa Richardson, the actress who died recently after hitting her head falling on a ski slope.

"If you get hit hard in the head, go to a doctor" seems to be the message here.

BassBoss,
I am not trying to bash you on this one, but why is that the probable cause? I am not sure that it is the best assumption.

I don't want to put words into Bassboss' mouth, but he probably meant that since the guy seemed very healthy, and was pretty young, it was a suicide. However, Mays didn't strike me as an unhappy, suicidal type...he had a successful TV show, and had just inked a deal with taco Bell to be their spokesman. It pretty much sounds like the guy was on top of the world.

Enlarged heart and maybe a blocked artery.

Natahsa Richardson did not die, she was still alive. Before I go on, you are right, if hit in the head hard, go see a doctor.
She was still alive, but "brain dead". He family decided to take her off life support because she was brain dead. If your brain dies, it's like being dead, but can live on life support.
That's like the big deal the GOP made with Terri Schiavo. She was brain dead, but the GOP fought to keep her alive after her boyfriend, or husband? wanted to take her off life support.
I think that was the start to the downfall of the republican party! Their "keep government out of privet lives"! Thought it would be a big vote getter, and it backfired.
