Former #Cowboys Marion Barber’s death as a result of a heat stroke

We learned Monday that the June death of former Dallas Cowboys player Marion Barber has been ruled accidental. The Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office listed the cause of death as heat stroke. This news comes as North Texas is under a heat advisory.

The news of Marion Barber’s death in June rocked the sports world. Medical examiners now say when the former Dallas Cowboys running back was found unresponsive inside of his Frisco apartment, he’d suffered a heat stroke.

Dr. Seemal R. Desai said temperatures like what we’ve seen recently in North Texas mean no one is exempt from an elevated risk of heat-related illness.

“I think it’s important for the public to know this isn’t just limited to underlying medical conditions or the elderly,” Desai said. “Yes, those are risk factors. But this is something we all have to be aware of.”
Shortly after the news of his death, Barber’s attorney and close friend Billy Clark spoke to NBC 5 about the former athlete’s physical condition saying he wasn't aware of any health issues.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some signs and symptoms of heat stroke are headache, dizziness, confusion, and nausea. Desai said we should also be mindful, there’s a very thin line between heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

“It’s a delicate balance and kind of a spectrum where the longer you’re exposed, the higher your core temperature gets, the lack of fluid intake and dehydration, really can create that perfect scenario which leads to an imperfect outcome,” said Desai.

Water, loose clothing, cooler indoor environments, and cool wet cloth are all suggested remedies for heat-related illness. In the meantime, an entire community grapples with a loss they did not see coming.
