Demontez Stitt...
Jul 13, 2016, 12:08 AM
|
|
I just read on a post of a buddy of mine on Facebook that played for Clemson back in the early 90's when I was at Clemson that Demontz Stitt had a heart attack in the shower and passed away tonight. Has anyone else heard this? if so, this is awful...he was only 27 years old..

Hope ur friend is joking and we owe him a kick to the junk

Otherwise, prayers for his family
I think Demontez might be the best player in the last 10 years (including Trevor Booker). No guard since him could create his own shot like him, and he could play defense.
...and at only 27, im hoping this is a joke

I would not think he was joking since he is part of the Clemson basketball family. I'm just hoping his buddy in Charlotte who works for Emergency Services is incorrect with what he told him. Otherwise, it's a sad, sad day for the Stitt family and Clemson University.

20 years ago that somebody doesn't know what he is talking about.

I am hoping that since the numbers don't add up that maybe it is not true. I think he left Clemson in 2011.
I have to say the C.Hobbs death threw me. Since he had graduated, I had had a few conversations with him over social media. He was a nice person who was always willing to chat about Clemson with a fan. I missed his passing and did not find a out about it until a year later when I logged on to TNET and saw he was being honored by his high school. I was just shocked. Way too young!

I think I did not read the OP correctly. I just caught that it was your buddy who was there 20 years ago. Sorry for the confusion.
Still hope it is not true. Too young to not still be in this world.

He is only 27 and played for Clemson in the early 90s? He must have been a real prodigy.

Has to be one of top three PGs in Clemson history. He and Jerai Grant only two players ever to make NCAA tourney all four of their years at Clemson. And so dang young! Was still tearing it up overseas. Prayers to his family, friends and those he associated at Clemson...

drug use involved here. But, sadly, based on other stories of early deaths caused by heart attack, (if that turns out to be the cause) drug use, specifically cocaine, is often the inducer of the heart attack. 27 seems to be the age for a lot of early deaths over the years. (See "The 27 Club" for how many rock stars died at this age, and causes.)
Prayers to his family in their time of grief, hope it is "natural causes" at least, so that any legacy of his will not be tarnished.
