According to "El Vocero" newspaper out of Puerto Rico, he died of an apparent heart attack. It also stated he had a open heart operation back in 2005. I will post the link, but it will be in spanish because they do not have a english version of their newspaper.

Sad. They say the younger the heart attack, the less chance of survival because it will be more severe. From my family and friends that follow the professional basketball league there, they state he was very well liked and one of the more popular "imports".

Former Cavalier, I remember The Tractor fondly. He was a BIG dude. One of the few 300lbers under 7' tall (6'8") that I've ever seen able to dunk. RIP Tractor!
