The following story was on ESPN's web site, written by Michael Weinreb. It is about the life and death of Len Bias, and the aftermath of his passing.
The Day Innocence Died
Today, Len Bias has been dead longer than he had been alive. It is still hard to believe that he died and how he died, even though it happened over 20 years ago. For those of you who know the story, we have all heard the rumors - was this the first time he did drugs or not? Was he using crack? etc? What is most interesting about this story is the aftermath and how Len Bias' death effected society. It is a long story, and a tough one to get through if you followed college basketball, but it is worth reading.
