Holy ****, dead of natural causes at 25? That is so sad, he had a tough life and seemed like a good kid.

Damn, that's terrible news! Always rooted for that kid. I wonder what happened. There has to be some sort of underlying condition that maybe he didn't know about, or maybe he did and never wanted to talk about it. Either way it's a tragedy. R.I.P. Trailblazer!!

Way to Young, I always hoped he would make it in the NBA.

Seemed to be a good guy from all I saw. Condolences to his family.

Rest in Peace, Caleb.

Helluva guy. Sad to hear given all he endured.

Just read on Reddit that he weighed 400lb+ at the time of his passing. Sad.

So shocked and saddened to hear this. Condolences to his family and all who loved him. I liked him on the Blazers and found his story of making it to the NBA inspiring.
