NEWBERRY, S.C. -- College offensive lineman Heath Benedict was found dead in his Florida home Wednesday night, apparently of natural causes, according to broadcast reports.Two television stations in Jacksonville, Fla., reported on their Web sites that homicide detectives were called to Benedict's home about 7 p.m. Wednesday. When they arrived, they found Benedict, 24, dead on his couch.
Police told the television station they did not suspect foul play, drugs or alcohol in Benedict's death. Benedict's body was taken to the medical examiner, according to the TV report.
Benedict, a native of the Netherlands, transferred to Newberry, an NCAA Division II school, for the 2004 season after redshirting at Tennessee as a freshman in 2002. Sporting News' Draft '08 guide ranked Benedict (6-foot-6 and 335 pounds) as the ninth-best player at the guard position in this year's draft class. He was projected as a fourth-round selection.

Yeah, Garfield was so much better. That cat was so laid back, I swear there were a couple of roach clips always nearby.
Maybe Heath, Ohio will be the next to go. From (ass) Licking County. Hey, less Ohio is good for everyone.
