Eaton was riding his bike in Summit County, Utah, on Friday night. Just before
8:30 p.m., passersby saw Eaton lying in the road after apparently crashing,
according to the Summit County Sheriff's Office. Officials said "there is no
reason to believe a vehicle was involved in the incident. Eaton was taken to
a hospital where he later died.

根據警方辦公室的說法，星期五晚間（美國時間），Eaton 在猶他州薩米特縣騎著自行車
，於約20:30 被行人發現疑似因為被撞擊而倒臥地上。警方表示「沒有理由相信有車輛涉
及此次的意外事故」。Eaton 事後被送往醫院，但搶救無效而不治身亡。

"The Utah Jazz are profoundly saddened at the unexpected passing of Mark Eaton,
who was an enduring figure in our franchise history and had a significant im-
pact in the community after his basketball career. Mark played his entire 11-
year NBA career with the Jazz and his number was retired as an NBA All-Star
and two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year," the Utah Jazz said in a state-
ment. "His presence continued around the organization as a friend and ambassa-
dor while giving back as a businessman and volunteer to his adopted hometown
in Utah. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Teri and their extended
family. Mark will be greatly missed by all of us with the Jazz."

爵士隊在一份官方聲明中表示：

「我們對 Mark Eaton 的不幸去世感到悲痛，他是在我們球隊歷史中極具非凡意義的人物
，即使已經從籃球生涯退役，他仍在社區中發揮影響力。在十一年的職業生涯中，他為
爵士隊效力，而且基於他曾經入選一次NBA 全明星及兩次最佳防守球員的表現，他的球
衣編號獲得光榮退役。雖然如此，在以商人及志工的名義回饋在養育他的猶他州之家鄉
的同時，他也在球團中作為朋友與大使繼續存在著。我們向Eaton 的家人表達哀悼，我
們所有爵士隊的成員將永遠懷念他。」



目前看來，調查還在持續進行中，當局也尚未透露他的確切死因。
