NFL名人堂成員迪克·布特庫斯的死因揭曉

Dick Butkus, NFL Hall of Fame linebacker, died as a result of a "cerebrovascular accident," CBS Sports said on Wednesday, according to his death certificate from the Los Angeles Department of Public Health. The condition is more commonly known as a stroke.

根據(jù)洛杉磯公共衛(wèi)生部門出具的死亡證明，美國國家橄欖球聯(lián)盟名人堂后衛(wèi)迪克·布特庫斯于周三去世，死因是“腦血管意外”。這種情況通常被稱為中風。

Atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat), high cholesterol, and atherosclerosis (thick/hardened arteries) were listed as secondary causes. His death certificate also stated that in 2001, Butkus underwent coronary bypass surgery.

心房顫動(心律不齊)、高膽固醇和動脈粥樣硬化(動脈厚/硬化)被列為次要原因。他的死亡證明還說，2001年，Butkus接受了冠狀動脈搭橋手術。

PEOPLE confirmed with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office that the Chicago Bears legend passed away at the age of 80 on Oct. 5. TMZ Sports was first to break the news. 

《人物》雜志向洛杉磯縣警長辦公室證實，這位芝加哥熊隊的傳奇人物于10月5日去世，享年80歲。TMZ體育是第一個披露這一消息的。

The Bears organization also shared a statement from Butkus’ family that the retired athlete "died peacefully in his sleep overnight."

熊隊還分享了布特庫斯家人的一份聲明，稱這位退役運動員“在睡夢中平靜地去世了”。

"The Butkus Family confirms that football and entertainment legend Dick Butkus died peacefully in his sleep overnight at home in Malibu, Calif.," the statement said. "The Butkus family is gathering with Dick's wife Helen. They appreciate your prayers and support."

聲明說:“布庫斯家族證實，足球界和娛樂界傳奇人物迪克·布庫斯昨晚在加州馬里布的家中在睡夢中安詳去世。”“布特庫斯一家和迪克的妻子海倫在一起。他們感謝你們的祈禱和支持。”

His professional football career began in college where he was a linebacker at the University of Illinois from 1962 to 1964. One of his most defining moments during that time was winning the Heisman Trophy. 

他的職業(yè)足球生涯始于大學時期，1962年至1964年，他在伊利諾伊大學擔任后衛(wèi)。在那段時間里，他最重要的時刻之一是贏得了海斯曼獎杯。

"All I ever wanted to do was to play football. It was a human factor that got me to come here to Illinois," Butkus said in 2016 after the University of Illinois retired his number. "I’m very proud to be a former Illini. I’ll always be an Illini."

“我一直想做的就是踢足球。這是一個人為因素讓我來到伊利諾伊州，”2016年，在伊利諾伊大學退役他的號碼后，Butkus說。“我很自豪能成為前伊利諾伊大學的一員。我永遠都是伊利尼人。”

Following his college career, Butkus nearly had the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos in a bidding war over his talents at the 1965-66 NFL draft. Ultimately, he felt more at home in his hometown.

在他的大學生涯結束后，在1965-66年的NFL選秀中，Butkus差點在芝加哥熊隊和丹佛野馬隊的競標戰(zhàn)中獲得他的天賦。最終，他在家鄉(xiāng)更有家的感覺。
