Anyone know what happened to him?

Just heard a news flash that he almost died overseas on a trip.

Heard that he choked on his own vomit and stopped breathing. That's all I could get from it as they wouldn't elaborate any further. Those Eagles certainly know how to lose control of themselves!

He's one of their senoir, better players, but still a dill.

It happened almost 2 months ago and its getting reported now..

Chad Fletcher, whilst on the team trip to Las Vegas, choked on his own vomit and was rushed to hospital and needed to be resusitated using a refibulator.

Really! That's serious stuff. There's only a small number of circumstances where the defibrillator should be used, and most of them are immediate emergencies. Without the electricity you die.

Serious stuff indeed!

..pun intended.

I'm not too sure at how much we should believe on this one. It was reported in The West Australian at the time that he was ill (not alcohol related) and then this morning they're saying it was a reaction to a Yellow Fever shot.

Apparently it was all blown up. He did have a reaction to a Yellow Fever shot and spent a few nights in hospital but di not nearly die.

Since when do you need a Yellow Fever injection to go to the States?

Might explain why he never performs in finals.

Makes sense then I guess.
