Miami Dolphins alumni found out yesterday that former Dolphins defensive tackle Chuck Klingbeil passed away and today learned that it was a result of a heart attack. He was only 52 years old. Three years older than me.
The 1991 team is in and of itself a case study. Klingbeil becomes the eight member of that team to pass away at a young age. Why are so many from that season dying so young? There are no answers and there may never be an answer.
Klingbeil was never a household name but he has a legendary mark in Dolphins history.
