Sad News II: Mario Danelo


This news is actually a day old, but I thought I'd share it anyway:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Foul play probably was not a factor in the death of Southern California kicker Mario Danelo, whose body was found about 120 feet down a rocky cliff, police said Sunday.

"It was fairly apparent that this was either an accident or suicide," said Lt. Paul Vernon.

Danelo's brother said Sunday that "it was an unfortunate accident."

"He was a good kid," Joey Danelo said during a phone interview with The Associated Press. "There was not a person I know that didn't like him."
I never had a chance to formally meet Mario, but I saw him a couple times at parties and he seemed like a great guy. I've only heard the highest praise for him (though usually in the context of football). My condolences and prayers to the Danelo Family.
