Tom Emma, 49…

Back in 1983 Tom Emma dominated the basketball court, representing the Duke Blue Devils as the basketball team captain… No one would have thought that his life would end at the age of 49.

Just this Tuesday at around 11:30 a.m. Emma jumped from the New York Athletic Club building in Midtown on 180 Central Park South.

Emma did not leave a suicide note and his death was a shock to all people that knew him, family members and friends.

Former team mate of Emma and coach of Stanford University basketball team, stated that he couldn’t believe the news when he heard. He also went on to say that Emma was a great guy and he has no clue as to why Emma would want to harm himself.

Emma was the president of Power Performance Inc. which was an organization that was dedicated to training and helping young athletes.

Your Black World sends prayers out to the family of Tom Emma… R.I.P.
