Andy Reid's son Garrett found dead at training camp

[SurvivorMatt]

Was found in his dorm room at Leigh University, where the team holds training camp.
Garrett Reid was sentenced to two years in a state drug rehabilitation program in July 2008 after being caught with 89 prescription pills inside his rectum at the Montgomery County Prison. He was in the county prison on charges related to a January 2007 car crash that seriously injured a woman. In November 2007, Garrett Reid, who was then 24 years old, was sentenced to 23 months in prison for smashing up another motorist's car while he was high on heroin. His younger brother Britt got 22 months plus probation. Andy Reid had taken a 5 week leave of absence from the team in February 2007 to deal with his family's crisis.

Horrible! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Reid family.

This is very sad. His son was a troubled young man.

Update:

No signs of foul play or suicide found at the scene where Garrett Reid, 29, was found dead in a dorm room at Lehigh University. Lehigh police Chief Edward Shutt said a 911 call came in at 7:20 a.m. Sunday morning for a "nonresponsive male" (the Eagles walkthrough was to begin at 8:15). Upon arrival, Garrett Reid could not be revived and was pronounced dead on the scene. "There was no suspicious activity," Shupp said. The coroner's office has begun its investigation, in conjunction with the local police.

Garrett had been working with the team's strength and conditioning staff, a welcome sight on the sidelines. Now a young man who had seemingly made positive changes in his life after struggling with drug and legal problems is gone, and his father, a leader of this organization for 13 years as head coach, is left to reconcile it all.

Some times after abusing your body for years with hard drugs it just gives out on you at a young age... Like eddie G from the WWE.
