NBA'S EDDIE GRIFFIN DIES IN CAR ACCIDENT



Eddie Griffin dies at 25 in a car accident on August 17. At about 1:30 am Griffin ignored a train crossing warning sign and was struck by the oncoming train. His body was so badly burned dental records were needed to identify the victim. Griffin had a history of alcohol abuse and was in a car accident in 2006 while driving intoxicated. So sad another life lost due to alcohol.





From ESPN.com...

"Everybody tried to help him from the top to the bottom of the organization," said [Coach Dwane] Casey, who coached Griffin for 1½ seasons. "He just couldn't get it straight. It's a tragic ending for a beautiful kid. He had a beautiful heart."
