Former Chargers linebacker Lew Bush died Thursday of an apparent heart attack, six days after his 42nd birthday.

Bush was a fourth-round pick in 1993 and played the next seven seasons for the Chargers. He spent three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before retiring from the NFL.

He is the seventh player from the Chargers' 1994 Super Bowl team to die before turning 45, and the second this year, following defensive lineman Shawn Lee, who was 44 when he passed away Feb. 26 of cardiac arrest (after suffering for years from diabetes).

The first to die was 28-year-old linebacker David Griggs, killed in a car crash in June 1995. Running back Rodney Culver was 26 when he perished in a 1996 plane crash. Not one, but two bolts of lightning struck 28-year-old linebacker Doug Miller in his 1998 death. Curtis Whitley, who’d been released by the Chargers in ’94, died of a drug overdose in 2008 at the age of 39. Defensive lineman Chris Mims was 38 when he died in 2008 of an enlarged heart.

I understand...

San Diego had only ONE Championship in 1963. Only Cleveland would have a BAD Deficit in winning years...and the "Browns" 2011 season went down the toilet...again!
