| “ESPN looks at Herrion case” by Tom FitzGerald,
September 17, 2005 discussed the sudden death of 23 year
old Thomas Herrion, 49ers guard, after an exhibition game.
Herrion had passed all physical examination tests. His
autopsy report revealed death due to HCM. Dr. Steve Ommen,
a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic's HCM department, told
ESPN “it was unlikely that an echocardiogram would
have missed the condition.” |
