Ex-WSU linebacker Lew Bush dead at 42

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Lew Bush, the former Washington State linebacker who played for the San Diego Chargers for seven seasons and was part of their lone Super Bowl team in 1994 - died Thursday. He was 42.

Bush, who also played for the Kansas City Chiefs, died of an apparent heart attack, the Chargers said in a statement. It was not immediately clear where Bush died. Public records show he lived in San Diego and he had been a pregame commentator for the Chargers' radio broadcast team.

Bush was the Chargers' fourth-round draft pick out of WSU in 1993 and played seven seasons with the team, followed by three with the Chiefs, before retiring.
