Doyle Brunson Somber Reaction to Untimely Passing of Chip Reese Son

The poker community was saddened to have learned that Casey Reese, son of the late poker legend, Chip Reese, passed away this week.   The cause of death is under investigation but Doyle Brunson has suggested it was the result of a prescription overdose.

"It seems like yesterday when my nephew called and gave me a message that made my blood run cold, "I think Chip just died" he told me.

"It happened again yesterday, only this time it was Chip's only son, Casey Reese. Casey was found in his apartment from an apparent overdose of prescription drugs. I had seen Casey a few days ago and he looked great. He was very handsome and extremely personable. I will always remember the closeness between Chip and Casey.

"My deepest condolences to the Reese family. I feel like I've let Chip down but I don't know what I could have done to help Casey."

Chip Reese died of heart failure just over a year ago at the age of 56.
