I've said it once, I'll say it again. CFL'ers who want to stay out and party at the bar until closing time are asking for trouble. All you have to do is go down the Dewdney strip after a Rider game. This young man probably got caught up in a situation he didn't want to. RIP!
Terrible day when you consider what happened to Fernandez as well.
Rest in peace Arnold Palmer
