Star quarterback evan murray took two hard body blows in a Football Game this weekend but walked off, even gave a thumbs up but an autopsy report shows he died of an abdominal hemorrhage caused by a lacerated spleen under the rib abdomen. The spleen helps filter blood rib cage. If it is enlarged, usually by an infection, it can drop below the bone making it more vulnerable to impact. The internal organs, lungs, heart, spleen, abdominal contents, everything is potentially exposed when you are participating in a sport. A severe blow can start internal bleeding. By the time duke tors realize its ruptured it can be too late. It was for evan. There was no way to know he was playing with an enlarged spleen and no way to eliminate risk in Contact Sports.
