I was at the Grey Cup in Edmonton in 2010. I went up to get beer about 10 minutes before half time. I detoured to the men's washroom and came apon a middle-aged, fairly over-weight dude in the midst of a chest-buster with what looked like his son or grandson (5 or 6 years old) standing there, helpless, tears streaming down his face. Some fans were there trying to help and someone ran off to find medical. Paramedics arrived and where doing what they could for the guy but it was obvious he was in major trouble. The paper the next day reported that the guy died. Easily the saddest thing I have witnessed in my life.
