Oh boy...by any standards a "special" jock...as good as any when sober. He had his demons...drug addiction and died an addict's death! Sad story as drugs and violent death always are!

Gary Stevens's book really talked about the relationship between those two. There were some real suspicions around the death, but Stevens was never able to satisfy his concerns about what really happened.

If memory serves me, Chris Antley was found beaten to death in his home. He was a good rider when he was right and made a fortune as day trader, but apparently was in with the wrong crowd and trusted 1 too many people!
