Second Autopsy Set For Gaines Adams

Second Autopsy For Gaines Adams

A second autopsy was scheduled to be performed Tuesday on Bears defensive end Gaines Adams in South Carolina at the family’s request, according to a law-enforcement official with the Greenwood County (S.C.) Sheriff’s Department.

Adams, 26, died Sunday morning after suffering cardiac arrest as a result of an enlarged heart.

Marcia Kelley-Clark, chief deputy coroner for Greenwood County, told the Tribune it was a natural death.

Toxicology tests are being run by the State Law Enforcement Division, although drug use is not suspected. Those results might not be available for several months.

Adams died at Self Regional Hospital near his home in Greenwood. His girlfriend made the 911 call, and Adams was pronounced dead at 8:21 a.m., Eastern time.

It’s unclear which coroner’s office will handle the second autopsy. The family could be searching for further confirmation that an enlarged heart was indeed the cause of Adams’ death and that no other factors were involved. No one knew Adams had a heart condition.

Family members were scheduled to meet with Blyth Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Tuesday to discuss funeral arrangements.
