Everything.
But on Monday, McKinley, according to police and a coroner's report, was lying in his bed, when he held a semiautomatic weapon inside his pillowcase and shot himself in the head.
How could that be? The truth is, I don't know. Nobody does.
This spring, Penn football player Owen Thomas hanged himself, and a recent autopsy showed that he had the same trauma-induced brain disease that has been linked to depression, mostly among NFL players.
And this past weekend, Michigan State fans were ripping into football coach Mark Dantonio on fan chat rooms while the Spartans were struggling with Notre Dame. The team won, and chats changed to celebrations. An hour or so later, Dantonio suffered a heart attack, leading to care, concern, sadness for him. How many manic emotions surrounded him and that football team over a few hours?
So what is the message here? It could be that fame and glory are fleeting, that we should appreciate what we have and never take it for granted. It could be that there is no message at all, that suicide and heart attacks happen in all parts of society.
