Very sad to hear this news this past Sunday when I woke up. As a lifelong KC resident and fan of the Royals, I can say Ventura was a popular player in the city and was a favorite for many. He will certainly be missed. My prayers and condolences to both families.
Kansas City has unfortunately had some very untimely sports related deaths the past decade or two. HOFer Derrick Thomas was my favorite Chiefs player by far when he passed and I remember his auto accident pretty well. Sad times....
RIP Ace
