Very Sad - 38 years old is too young

I wonder if they are required to get physicals every year as part of the job - maybe they should require it

This is too young

[CT Cop]

Sometimes physicals don't reveal things such as aortic aneurisms and such. At such a young age, it is possible a physical would not have made a difference. Condolences to the trooper's family, friends, and colleagues.

It is very young which makes you wonder if it was an anuerism that went to his heart. This happened to my sister at 33.
Bless his family and his brothers in uniform.
