This is shocking and tragic. I feel so upset for the family. I cannot believe it.

This is horrible.  As a parent I cannot imagine... Words cannot help.  So prayers are in order.

Hold your kids close and cherish every minute... actually, that goes for anyone in your family.  Watching Milt all these years talk about his family, etc, taught us all he was a family-first kind of man and a great dad and role model.

I don't think we'll see Milt on the panel to start the season.  Although, sometimes people grieve in different ways, and sometimes work/normality can help one get through it.  I support Milt in any decision he may make.

I found this:

"unexpectedly in residence hall"

If that's right, it wasn't on the field or anything.  Otherwise details are sketchy.  I'm sure they'll release more info as they see fit.  Maybe this will result in some sort of legacy/support foundation being created.  I would support that.

Simply terrible news. Chase was born here in Winnipeg, I remember it so well. Like Milt will always be a member of the Bomber family I felt that Chase was too. At a loss for words really. Prayers go out to the Stegall family.

So so sad, Chase is my daughter's age. In fact after milt broke the TD record I bumped into him and his family at Tinkertown the next day. Chase and my daughter were mingling. It was so cute!

This is so tragic. Milt and Darlene heart felt condolences.

Can't imagine the pain of losing a son, let alone a 20 year old son with his life ahead of him.  Sympathies don't seem enough but personally, and as a forum, we offer them to Milt, his family and his friends.

Not much detail, but it looks like he had a previous medical condition that caused seizures.

Oh no! What horrible news.

To the Stegall family and all that knew and loved this young man go my deepest condolences.

Milt, we love you and are with you.

Coming to pay my respects.

This is so horrible and shocking I cannot put into words.

Many of us remember Chase as a young lad joining dad on the field and in interviews in the 2000s in Milt's hayday. He was a face to us and more than just our favourite player's son.
