Breaking news from South Carolina: ESPN is reporting that Bears defensive end Gaines Adams died Sunday morning after being taken to an emergency room in Greenwood, S.C. He was 26. A cause of death has not been announced—an autopsy will be performed today—so details are very sketchy at this time.
Gaines was a new addition to the Bears, having been traded to the team in October. He was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft.
UPDATE: FOX halftime show reports that preliminary autopsy shows Adams died of cardiac arrest due to enlarged heart.
