I'm not one of the USC guys, but they don't seem to be around and this is pressing: USC kicker Mario Danelo is dead. It seems either an accident or be suicide:
Danelo's body was found at the bottom of White Point Cliff in San Pedro, according for a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department. Police did not release further details.
Reading between the lines, the implication is he fell... or leapt. Hard to imagine what could have caused it, but on-field performance is not likely to be the culprit. Danelo missed only one field goal this year. Condolences to the USC program, fans, and the Danelo family.

Update: local police say no signs of foul play were found.
