    WSOP Deepstacks floorman Casey Jones dies of heart attack at age 29



    On Thursday, August 2, Casey Jones fell into a coma while travelling through New Mexico. He has remained in ICU in Las Cruces, without improvement since that time. As his family has gathered around him, the doctors have broken the sad news that there is little or no hope for any sort of recovery.

    Today Casey passed away.

    Casey was only 29 years old

    Casey, as an independent, travelling poker dealer and supervisor, worked hard to provide a future for his young family, but like most of the people in that field didn't have the luxury of health or life insurance.

    Casey loved his family (especially his 3 years old twins Sadie and Kennedy), his career, sports (especially basketball) and his friends.
    Didn't know him, but supposedly he was one of the supervisors of the WSOP Deepstacks tournaments over the past few years.

    Despite the weird "fell into a coma while traveling" language, it has been said that he actually had a heart attack while sleeping.

    I have to agree with Limitles' sentiment here. Thousands of people die every single day with pomp or fanfare. Why are we expected to care about this one unknown guy just because he was on the fringes of the poker community? I played in a couple of those deepstacks and I have a small child. If I die today of a heart attack at 30, I highly doubt that you guys are clammoring to donate to my memorial fund (dont use me as the example, just a random poker player, dealer, etc).
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    His age makes you think. We dont expect to have to worry about this stuff until were at least in our 40s. If anyone wants to know what tests to have done that will give you an idea if your heart is in bad shape theres a few that dont cost alot that you can order over the internet, and go in and get your blood taken and have the results in a few days.
