MERRITT \u2013The mother of a Canadian bull riding champion who was found dead Monday is warning about the dangers of concussions.<\/p>\n

The RCMP in Ty Pozzobon’s hometown of Merritt, B.C., say they didn’t consider the 25-year-old man’s death suspicious and the provincial coroner had taken over the investigation.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Pozzobon’s mother Leanne drew attention to head injuries in relation to her son’s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s important that people know about the implications of head injuries as a result of concussions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Her statement makes no other reference to a cause of death.<\/p>\n

Neither the police nor coroner have released Pozzobon’s cause of death.<\/p>\n

Pozzobon was the 2016 Professional Bull Riders Canada champion and a four-time PBR world finalist finishing a career-high fourth last year.<\/p>\n

A statement on the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association website says Pozzobon was a talent that comes along seldom in any sport, yet his ability to pick up the spirits of those around him was a talent as great as his superstar ability to ride the rankest bulls in the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
