Shane Olivea, the Chargers' starting right tackle on those great teams early in Rivers' career, is dead at age 40. No cause of death yet. Why do so many former Chargers die young? Olivea did develop a pain killer addiction while playing for the Chargers, and asked the team to release him in 2008 or 09. RIP #70.
