Brandon Hunter, a former NBA player who played two NBA seasons and gained prominence during his college years at Ohio University, has passed away at the age of 42, NBA reported.

Hunter, who had stints with the NBA’s Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic in the mid-2000s, collapsed at a hot yoga class in Orlando, Florida. The news was confirmed by his mother-in-law, Carolyn Cliett.

“It was hot yoga, and he did it regularly,” Cliett told NBC. “He was in good shape as far as we know. We’re just shocked.”

Details regarding the cause of death have not yet been released.
