That would be a hell of a tragedy I can only imagine how the fight world would respond. Tyson is global too so it would touch the lives of many if Mike did pass on

He just ate a bit too much shrooms

Another fan claimed that it is because of paranoia, which is common among ex-fighters because they undergo head hitting for decades.
Paranoia is common among ex-fighters. Getting hit in the head for decades is no joke!

Another fan took a very universal stand. According to him, death is the ultimate end and everyone has to face whether you are a fighter like Tyson or common folk.
It's coming for all of us. Sooner or later. Whether we are fighters or not. Haven't seen the clip but if that's all he said then that's pretty non-controversial to me.

Mike says deeply profound and disturbing stuff on the regular. I really admire how his mind works. I hope he’s wrong on this one though.
