Hughes heart attack linked to arteriosclerosis says team physician
Detroit Lions receiver Chuck Hughes died from a heart attack caused by arteriosclerosis discovered in autopsy. Doctors said stress from football could trigger the event, and the collision with Bears players did not cause it, though it may have added stress. They noted Hughes likely had no knowledge of his illness and that his death was not preventable with faster hospital care.
