The differences in causes of death between the enforcers and their fellow players was striking. Two neurodegenerative disorder deaths, two drug overdoses, three suicides and four vehicular crashes were attributed to the 331 players identified as enforcer-fighters, compared to just one car crash death among the age-matched control group.

Gratuitous fisticuffs being phased out of the game and a greater emphasis on skill will hopefully change those numbers in the future.
