The photo from this Washington Post article on Bias during his junior year is faded, but memories of Bias remain for Maryland fans.
Twenty-four years ago today something happened that was so shocking that it was hard to fathom that it really took place.
On June 19, 1986, University of Maryland basketball player Len Bias died of a cocaine overdose.
The scene that morning, as documented in news reports, was surreal and tragic as family members and teammates learned the news after gathering at Leland Memorial Hospital in Riverdale.
Kirk Fraser recounted the story of Bias’ death in an ESPN documentary, 30 for 30: Without Bias.
