Tony Dungy's son found dead.

[MadMarchHare]

He shouldn't have been such a Hoyda, and slit his own throat like that guy a couple months ago.

[rjs246]

He should have sewn his icehole shut and kept feeding himself and feeding himself and right before he barfed he should have kicked himself in the stomach. Yeah.

Antoinette Anderson returned to James Dungy's apartment after a 10-minute walk early Dec. 22 to find him apparently lifeless, according to tapes released Wednesday.

I'm just playing conspiracy theory here, but does anyone else think it's a little strange that he managed to choke himself to death in less than 10 minutes?  It's not like he had everything rigged to go before she left the apartment.  I'm sure she might have noticed a belt tied to the ceiling fan and a chair directly beneath it.  So he probably waited a minute or 2 until she left and then had to set everything up.  Maybe that took another minute or 2 leaving him say anywhere between 5 - 7 minutes.  And if he was already dead when the girlfriend got home then I seriously doubt he died at the exact moment she walked through the front door.  So he must have been dead for at least a minute or so.  So now that leaves him a 4 - 6 minute window to actually die.  Some people can hold their breath for that long.  People have gone unconscious for several minutes, if not longer without breathing and still lived. I'm a relatively heavy smoker and I can hold my breath (just timed myeself) for 2m19s before I start feeling the need for air.  I'd say I could probably have held out for another 20 or 30 seconds too.  And I'm near 30, not nearly in as good of shape as I was at 18 and I smoke a pack a day.  This dude was 18 and played football and was a fairly well conditioned athlete so I think it might take a little more than 6 minutes without air to actually kill him. 

I know there's nothing set in stone when it comes to a time table on how long a person can go without oxygen and still live.  Everybody's different.  But it just seems a little fishy to me.

And since when can a ceiling fan support the weight of an adult or teenager?

[Sgt PSN]

I was thinking about that as well.  I just went out to my living room and tried to do a pull up on my ceiling fan to see if it could support my weight for a few minutes.  Here's what I've learned from the experience:

1.  Turn the fan off before attempting to raise your head above the blades.
2.  It cannot support the weight for more than 10 seconds. 
3.  I need to dust my ceiling fan more often.

And you're defending out nation?  We're in trouble! 

[Sgt PSN]

No, it's totally ok.  I'm not in a position to actually do any defending right now.  No sir.  I'm recruiting the people who do the defending.

I just read all of the Schiavo thread again, so I'm laughing and stupid at the moment. This made me laugh even more. 

[LBIggle]

who cares.  little whiney rich attention whoring bastich probably.  can have anything he wants, and he wants to die.  i doubt it.   probably just wanted to stage an "attempted suicide", kind of like the people who go across the street, not down the road, and accidentally didn't realize how strong his ceiling fan was.

Dungy's son's death ruled a suicide

LUTZ, Fla. -- The death of the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy has been ruled a suicide, a medical examiner said Friday.

James Dungy hanged himself from a bedroom ceiling fan with a leather belt, Dr. Jacqueline Lee of the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office wrote in her final autopsy report.

Authorities had ruled out foul play in December, but toxicology results were pending. Those tests were negative, except for caffeine and medication paramedics used in attempts to resuscitate the teen, Lee said.

Dungy was found by his girlfriend on Dec. 22, less than a half-hour after last being seen alive, according to the medical examiner's office. The teen's girlfriend called paramedics, who attempted to resuscitate him. He was pronounced dead at a Tampa hospital.

James Dungy had been taking extension classes at the University of South Florida, authorities said.

Tony Dungy coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1996 to 2001.
