Holy shit. This is devastating. I love watching our teams play. it's terrible regardless of the cause of death, but I am super curious as to what took him so young.
LA times reported it was due to suicide

Before he transferred out of pacific, There were some unusual tweets about declaring for the NBA draft even though there was no chance he would get drafted, then he decided on coming back to Pacific, then he decided to transfer to Nicholls State and never played a minute for them. I believe he also tweeted again about declaring for the NBA draft this year. Wish someone could have helped the young man, as he was an emerging hard working player who always had a smile on his face
Thanks for the update. That makes this even more tragic. It sucks that the signs are often not recognized until way too late.
Why
this hurts man. dorsey was one of my favorite guys when i was getting into pacific a couple of years ago. he was taken from us too soon. prayers for his family.
