If I recall right, the weather wasn't too hot (mid to low 90's), and this fellow came from Cameroon, which is a warm place. It wasn't overly humid. Playing several games in a week should have been exhausting, but not deadly.
Now for American football, you have the death of Korey Stringer. This was in significantly hotter weather, and he was weighing over 300 pounds. For baseball, the fellow died was using endophrin(sp?).
While I am by no means a medical genius, I would at least hazard a guess that this Cameroon player was using some sort of drugs, or had a pre-existing medical problem.
