going to keep this as straight forward as possible. i'm a close friend who has been in touch w his hometown friends and family
rich died somewhere between monday july 29th and tuesday july 30th at his apartment in san diego of an accidental overdose (confirmed by toxicology). he was taking prescribed pills to manage pain from a recent soccer injury
no one outside his family and close friends know this yet. i'm posting here because, for the sake of his legacy, i want the story to be told by those who know, not by rumors
please be respectful to his family. feel free to share positive stories about him here. he was truly a legend of our game
