Former NBA basketball player Brandon Hunter passed away suddenly and unexpectedly during a hot yoga session. He was only 42 years old.
US media reports that Brandon Hunter collapsed and died suddenly during a hot yoga session in Orlando on Tuesday.
Hot yoga is a physical exercise that is performed in hot and humid conditions, it is practiced at temperatures of around 40 degrees. This practice leads to considerable body sweating and stresses the cardiovascular system.
For this reason, hot yoga is considered quite challenging for beginners, as well as unsuitable for heart patients.
However, Brandon Hunter’s entourage was unaware of any heart problems the deceased had. «He regularly did hot yoga. As far as we know, he was in good shape. We are shocked,” he said Carolyn CliettHunter’s mother-in-law, quoted by «NBC».
The former basketball player played in the NBA for the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic before moving to Europe, playing in Germany, Greece, Italy, Israel and France.
Hunter left behind his wife and three children, ranging in age from 5 to 15.
