Harlem Globetrotters player dies in Japan

The world famous Harlem Globetrotters lost a member of their team two days ago while on tour in Japan. Chris ‘Flash’ Richardson apparently died in his sleep at the age of 28. Sad news for Richardson’s family members and fans of the long-standing basketball team.

Although the cause of death was not yet confirmed, Richardson likely died of natural causes, said Globetrotters spokesman Brett Meister.

The players were at a U.S. military base in Sasebo, Japan, as part of an annual holiday tour. The Globetrotters are in their 83rd consecutive season of touring the world.

Meister said the organization was still in shock over Richardson’s death.
