Amazingly...it gets worse

March 22, 2006

I thought perhaps I'd heard the end of silly deaths and whatnot. Then there is this gem from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The family of a Saginaw man who died shortly after appearing in the noonday sun as Captain, the Texas Rangers mascot, has taken initial steps toward possibly filing a lawsuit against the baseball team, suggesting that the heavy costume, lack of training and weather conditions contributed to his death.

Pat Titsworth, 46, suffered a fatal heart attack Sept. 21, 2004, after appearing in downtown Fort Worth where he passed out ticket coupons and attempted to get fans to attend the team’s final regular-season home stand.
