Title: Alabama Walk On Dies Rock Climbing
Post by: Townhallsavoy on June 18, 2011, 07:40:39 PM: Quote
Twenty-year-old Jonathan Michael "Sully" Sullivan, a native of Birmingham, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 while rock climbing with friends in Virginia. Jonathan will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by the family and friends he leaves behind. He was a student at Shelton State Community College in Tuscalooosa and was planning to attend the University of Alabama, where he was invited as a walk-on to the Crimson Tide football team. He was a 2008 graduate of Spain Park High School in Hoover. A gifted athlete and musician, Jonathan sang in the Spain Park High School Show Choir, lettered in track, and played on the defensive line for the Jaguars under head football coach John Grass. He helped lead the Jaguars to the state championship game in 2007 and graduated with a scholarship to play football at The University of North Alabama. At UNA, he played football as a defensive lineman under head coaches Mark Hudspeth in 2008 and Terry Bowden in 2009. Jonathan helped lead his football team to a 2009 National Championship. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Crimson Tide Foundation, P.O. Box 870343, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0343, to help establish a football scholarship in Jonathan's memory.

You think it was expected or you saying it is impossible to die if you are actually "climbing"?

I took it as meaning "unexpected death" and "rock climbing" don't go together.
