The cause of death has not been revealed, but police say no foul play has been indicated.
Once the Associated Press picks up the Andrew 'Test' Martin story, you can expect to see it just about everywhere. A cause of death likely won't be revealed for at least a week or two. Martin was just four days shy of his 34th birthday and was headed to the UK next week to take part in several matches.
Note from Ryan Clark: Let me just say that I absolutely hate to have to report on stories like this. I had exchanged emails with Andrew numerous times over the years so this one is especially tough for me to have to report on. I got a call last night shortly after 3AM from someone within the business asking me if I had heard anything. At that time, I had not and was shocked to even hear about it. Please take just a minute today to pray for his family and friends.
