Observation

I have noticed most recently (since yours) how many accidents are reported involving young athletes. These attract the most attention I would say because athletes are usually pretty popular people (not elite or anything, just well-known because of the group they are a part of) and of course celebrity athletes. Also, the fact that someone dies at a young age also makes people take notice. I think the combination of those two factors can be greatly used by God to influence a lot of people for His Kingdom. The death of a young athlete can impact so many, more than we can ever know. Not just for the people who knew them and who attend the funeral where hopefully the Gospel is preached, but just anyone contemplating life and death issues. Interesting.
