KSTP St. Paul reports Vikings OL coach Tony Sparano has died at age 56.

Sparano died at his home Sunday morning. He was due to report to Vikings training camp on Wednesday. The long-time coach had been with Minnesota since 2016. Sparano served as the Dolphins' head coach for four seasons, leading the team to a division title in 2008. He also filled in as the Raiders' interim coach after Dennis Allen was fired midseason in 2014. Sparano leaves behind a wife, a daughter and two sons.

WTF 

If they run the tests and everything checks out, what are they to do? In hindsight it seems pretty obvious that they missed something very significant, but medical errors are and likely always will be significant contributors to deaths. Doctors are human too and just like every profession, there's good ones and bad ones.
