Pittsburgh Steelers Fan Says He Was Poisoned


Last Update: 11/17/2009 12:10 pm
A Pittsburgh Steelers fan almost died, after he says a Chicago Bears fan poisoned him.

Steelers fan Zack Heddinger of Pittsburgh is now blind and has brain damage.

After watching their team lose in Chicago September 20, he and his friends went to "Kitty O'Sheas" Bar outside Soldier Field, all wearing Steelers jerseys.

After some trash talking with Bears fans, one of those fans offered Heddinger a drink as a peace offering.

A short time later, Heddinger passed out and was rushed to a hospital. He says his heart stopped four times.

Doctors think he drank antifreeze. Heddinger believes the Bears fans poisoned his drink.
He is undergoing oxygen treatments in hopes of regaining some of his vision.
Chicago Police are trying to track down the suspects, but no luck so far.
