He was known as biggie because he weighed 350 pounds in Jr. High. Someone saw his potential and obviously he put in the work. He was basically a homeless kid who had a really really tough upbringing. After leaving Purdue and a cup of coffee in the league, he, and this is conjecture, but no team to play for, COVID hit, and he let himself go. Word was he had gained a lot of weight so the natural cause was probably related to that.

As a BIG fan I loved watching him compete. Really amazing college player.

Not sure if you can see this picture, but he obviously had gained a lot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFS2i4vpsC/ ↗

Here's a 26 year old that just died. I assume from "natural causes". Don't think he was overweight, though:
