Elden Campbell died from drowning after medical emergency
Former basketball player Elden Campbell died Monday from drowning after suffering a medical emergency while out fishing, a member of his family and a Broward County official told media outlets.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office said Campbell's death was accidental, according to TMZ, and Thomas Steinkamp, the chief of investigative services for Broward County, confirmed to People that it was due to drowning.
Campbell's sister, Sandra, told The New York Post that the medical emergency occurred "all the sudden" when Campbell, 57, had returned to shore after fishing in Florida and that the family doesn't know what happened.
