In September 2018, he underwent surgery for his knee, as he was injured during a football game. The doctors apparently advised him to take therapy after the surgery. Athletes do face injuries from time to time. Everything seemed normal until CJ reported chest pains after his treatment.
On the fateful day of 3rd October 2018, he was rushed to the Greenville hospital from a relative’s home. Despite every effort, the doctors were unable to save his life. His death was extremely unexpected and it is hard to imagine the shock felt by his loved ones at his sudden passing.
The autopsy revealed that he was suffering from a pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. It’s a disease in which a blood clot blocks one or more arteries in the lungs. A pulmonary embolism is most frequently caused by blood clots that pass from the legs.
