And when did I say that. I was just amazed over that human intelligence ain´t wide spread enough to understand my first post was meant to be a little bit funny to take away the seriousness of the death of a person most of us here to not know anyway. Next time you can think before accusing somebody of something that is not said or done. I did never laugh about his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone thinks the same way you do, shares your senses of humor, or understands what you intended when you wrote the prose. Go on, treat yourself and think a bit.

moe666 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Ther has to be more to this than what has been reported 32 years old too young to have heart issue. Must be a big cover up by the Thais yes what are they covering up. My best wishes to the family on the loss of their loved one, too young to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitnessHealthTravel Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I agree there was obviously an un-diagnosed heart problem. It happens a lot in sports. Still very sad and shocking to his Family and Friends. My condolences and RIP Harley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 We can only speculate. Let's hope his body gets back to New Zealand in an unadulterated state (i.e. not opened up by Thai medics) so that their pathologists can find out what happened.

balo Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 It happens all the time in sports, young football players die on the pitch, cyclists , runners in marathons . A lot of cases recently that are linked with undiagnosed heart condition. If you want to be a fit athlete , check your heart first . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyman58 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I go walking every day with my big stick for the dogs. At 61 I try to stay a bit healthy and fit because my Thai wife at 53 has not lost her sex drive. But sad this story on this guy dying at 32 Some people are just born with bad hearts. I was fortunate to be born with a healthy heart like most of you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
