RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead

yes.

That or overdose.

Is it just me or am I the only one who isn’t saddened by the loss of life of a complete stranger? No doubt a giant sad and emotional loss for his loved ones, I won’t argue that. But it has no bearing on my emotional state. Maybe in passing consideration of his loss vague feelings of sadness appear temporarily, but I strongly suspect these feelings are more a result of his loss reminding me of my own mortality than they are a result of his loss alone. Expressions of sympathy, in situations like these and by complete strangers, always come across hopelessly perfunctory, automated, and insincere.

as for the family, the best I could offer would be a revered silence and a respect for their privacy.

That's "Let's Run" for you.

The grief his parents are feeling is unimaginable. That they might even have to consider engaging morons like some posters here is incredible. QAnon is alive and causing profound destruction.

Very sad to hear, worse to see how some of you are behaving. I graduated a few years ahead of Frank so I didn't know him personally but he was an incredible talent. From what I've heard from others I understand he was an incredibly hard worker & dedicated teammate.

Frank helped usher in a great team culture & new era of distance running at Lynchburg. Condolences to his family, coaches, & teammates for their loss.

If it is something we can all avoid, tell us.

1)If it were leaking heart valves, tell us.

2)If it were dehydration and elevated liver values due to excessive drinking, tell us.

3) If it were experimentation with excessive caffeine, tell us.

4) If it were experimentation with high dosage of prescription cocaine, Ritalin, or street Meth, tell us.

5) If it were goofing around with a loaded weapon, tell us.

All these are real issues. Not telling us isn't helping anyone.

You guys are so annoying it’s been confirmed he killed himself. You can all go home now

Very sad news. He was on the cutting edge of this era of tremendous Division III 5000m performances, one of 7 or 8 this year already to break 14. This is quite an achievement and in 2010s would probably have put him in the all-time top ten list. My condolences to his family, coaches, and teammates.

This happened yesterday. Let people grieve. No one is owed an immediate explanation, no matter the circumstances. This JUST happened, be respectful. If there's some awareness to be spread, it doesn't need to happen today.

From a current South region runner, my heart breaks for the Csorba and Lynchburg families.

How has this thread not been locked yet or deleted? This thread started as something so nice but turned into something so disrespectful to Frank, his family and the Lynchburg running community.

When stories like this are posted it’s only a matter of time until douchebags like this poster above emerge

OBVIOUSLY.

I can't believe this has to be said. It's unreal to me.

Imagine you're Frank's mom. His friend. His brother. Who does it serve to know that he may have killed himself, that he was struggling with his personal health? All it does it degrade his memory. It turns him from a human being to just that, someone who killed himself. The grief that they feel, do they feel better that everyone knows that's what happened?

For Christ's sake, have some empathy for those who have experienced a tremendous, unfathomable loss. Just say "That's terrible, how sad" and move on. You're not owed anything, you pieces of garbage.
