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.

Same happened to my uncle, he was 49.  Doctors missed a huge blood cloth and he died while taking a hot shower after being released from the hospital.

without having access to his medical records it is pointless to speculate on what was or was not done. 

chest pain is a very common complaint. not everyone has heart attacks right after. I'm sure they did an ekg, cxr, and ran troponins unless they were the dumbest doctors on the planet. they might have even offered him a stress test then or scheduled one for monday. who knows? It's entirely possible sparano didn't want further testing.  

 

sad situation

I think that your thread title should've shown a lot more respect than it did.
