Unfortunately I have been telling people to stop a certain aspect of pickleball, especially against older people. Lobbing is a great strategy because people realize that their older opponent has a difficult time going backwards, and so you can generally win the point. But, most older people try to hit the ball, and some stumble and fall. I personally had a friend that went for a lob, tripped, hit her head, and died.
It seems that the same thing happened here.
So sad for his family and friends. Rest in peace.
