First two had heart attacks (or similar) and that is the suspicion for the 3rd, who is the youngest of the bunch at age 20 (and who had drawn some interest from NBA teams).  Not sure what is going on over there.

Not sure, but it sounds an awful lot like this:

Not sure if basketball players take EPO or other blood doping.

Wow, Rasmus Larsen. I don´t follow euroball at all, but he was one player I knew of.

This is all speculation, but I think it might be genetics. All the "huge" northeners tend to die under 40yrs.
