Man dies after bowling third perfect game of his life
A bowler collapsed and died at a Michigan bowling alley shortly after rolling the third perfect game of his life.
Ed Lorenz, 69, bowled a 300 – the highest possible score in 10-pin bowling - in his first league game of the night at Airway Lanes, Portage.
When the pensioner got up to bowl in the fifth frame of his second game, he clutched his chest and collapsed. Efforts to revive him failed.
“If he could have written a way to go out, this would be it,” said Johnny Masters, who was bowling with Lorenz.
Friends said Lorenz started bowling in 1957 and ended last season with a 223 average. He rolled his first two 300 games over a one-week period in 2004.
