I just got back from practice at the Naughty Dogs this last weekend. I was there when this aweful thing happened.
I'm still sick and stunned that this happened, it's hard to put into words just how aweful it was.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
I'd only just met Drew that morning but he was a charachter and we had been joking and having fun, to believe something like this could happen so suddenly to someone so young is unreal.
It happened early on the first day just as the Dog's were warming up and stretching out. Apparently Drew felt ill during the warm up and stepped to the side, the next thing we knew, as we were talking about the field, Mikey screamed for us to call an ambulance. The phone call was made in seconds.
The Albany fire department were there in very little time, but unfortunately it was too late.
Everyone there worked as hard as they could to help him. I don't think there was anything we could have done that we didn't.
They didn't as yet confirm what had caused it when we left last night, but they had ruled out any toxic substances or similar. They believe it may have been heart failure.
R.I.P. Drew.
