Colorado Rockies president found dead in Salt Lake City: "Words cannot describe the level of shock and disbelief that we all are feeling this morning at the loss of Keli," team owner Charlie Monfort said. "Our thoughts, our prayers are with (McGregor's wife) Lori and the entire family as we all try to cope and understand how such a tragic loss could occur with such a wonderful man." McGregor was named president of the Rockies on Oct. 18, 2001. He was beginning his 17th season with the organization. McGregor, 48, was a two-time All-American tight end at Colorado State. He was drafted by the Broncos in the fourth round (110th overall) of the 1985 NFL draft. He played for the Broncos, Indianapolis and Seattle before retiring. McGregor ranks third on CSU's single-season reception list (69) and stands fifth on the all-time reception list with 153. He was voted to the school's All-Century Team in 1992 and was inducted into the CSU's Hall of Fame in 1996.

Sounds like we lost a decent person; we can't afford to lose too many. I don't know what killed Kell McGregor, but I encourage all of you to keep up with your personal health, and to take care of yourselves.
