Ward Churchill, controversial former CU professor and activist, dies at 78

August 12, 2026

Denver, CO - Former University of Colorado professor and controversial activist Ward Churchill has died. He was 78. David Lane, Churchill’s former attorney, confirmed to Denver7 that the former professor died of a stroke on Tuesday. Churchill came under intense scrutiny after a 2001 essay resurfaced in 2005 in which he referred to some 9/11 victims as “little Eichmanns.” The remarks sparked widespread backlash, renewed debate over free speech protections, and thrust CU Boulder into the national spotlight. Although he was not fired from CU for his comments, the university did let him go in 2007 following findings of research misconduct, including allegations of plagiarism and the fabrication and falsification of evidence in his scholarship on Native American issues. In a statement, Lane described Churchill as a passionate advocate for oppressed communities.

Beloved Rock Singer Dies After Battle With Lung Cancer

August 17, 2026

Scott Sechman has died at the age of 72. The longtime musician had been chronicling his battle with lung cancer on social media for several years. His death was confirmed by an online tribute from Dare Arts and reported by PennLive. The correspondent for Galveston Monthly Magazine wrote about his long battle with cancer. “Scott’s friends know that several years ago he was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer, along with other serious health problems,” she wrote. “For the better part of four years, he and his beloved Belinda made more trips than I could begin to count from the Outer Banks to Norfolk for treatments, appointments, tests and consultations. They lived through the peculiar tyranny of serious illness - waiting for results, celebrating good news, absorbing bad news, adjusting to a new reality and then doing it all over again.” She added, “After everything cancer had thrown at him, it wasn’t cancer that finally took Scott. In the end, his body could no longer do the most elemental thing we ask of it - breathe. There is something almost unbearably poignant about that to me. A man whose life had been built around breath - breath to sing, breath behind a harmonica, breath carrying words, arguments, laughter and music - finally reached a point where his body simply could not do it anymore.”

A Valley community is raising money for the family of College of the Sequoias [CA] fire cadet Eric Arzate, who died after experiencing a medical emergency on the college’s Hanford campus earlier this week. “On Aug. 10, we unexpectedly lost our beloved Eric,” his family wrote on a GoFundMe page that is raising funds to help his family. The 20-year-old Arzate is remembered as “a beautiful person” who always found a way to put others before himself. His family said Arzate dedicated years of his life to learning how to save the lives of others and volunteered for local first-responder programs. His family said Arzate’s death comes three years after the sudden death of his father, Raul Arzate. The cause of the medical emergency remains under investigation. Fire academy applicants at College of the Sequoias must pass a physical agility exam before being admitted to the program. The exam evaluates strength, balance, coordination and cardiovascular endurance.

Airmen who died during fitness test suffered sudden cardiac arrest, Air Force says

August 15, 2026

The airman who died during a physical fitness test last year died as a result of sudden cardiac arrest and had no pre-existing conditions, the Air Force said in a new report. The report from Air Education and Training Command, released Aug. 12, found that Airman First Class Syamukonka Moonga collapsed shortly after finishing the 1.5-mile run segment of a practice physical fitness assessment on Aug. 4, 2025. He was unconscious and without a pulse. Other trainees and the leader overseeing the training began attempting to resuscitate him. They attempted to get an automated external defibrillator to help the airman, but it shut off and would not restart. They, along with paramedics and EMTs, spent more than an hour working to revive him, but he was declared dead just over an hour after collapsing. The new Ground Accident Investigation Board report said Moonga had no pre-existing conditions and there were no environmental circumstances that day prior to his death. An autopsy found smaller coronary arteries than normal, but Moonga had shown no prior issues during earlier fitness tests. Before the practice assessment on Aug. 4, airmen are able to tell training leaders if they have any injuries or health matters that could impact their training. According to the report, Moonga did not mention anything. Moonga was originally from Zambia and enlisted in the Air Force in May 2025, graduating from basic military training two months later. He was only a few weeks into training with the 346th Training Squadron.

Former finance minister T&[69] is recovering after suffering a medical emergency while appearing live on television yesterday morning. Nunez-Tesheira was a guest on Conversations with Zelisa on Real TV when the incident occurred at the station’s San Juan studios shortly after 10.20 am. Host, executive producer of Conversations with Zelisa and Real TV CEO Zelisa Boodoosingh had just asked Nunez-Tesheira about her role as a woman in Parliament. When Nunez-Tesheira began responding, she fell silent and slumped back in her chair. Boodoosingh immediately called for a commercial break as staff rushed to assist. Speaking with Guardian Media, Boodoosingh confirmed the incident and said her initial concern was that Nunez-Tesheira had suffered a stroke. “I asked the question and she kind of just fell back. My first thought was that she was having a stroke. I immediately said, ‘Let’s take a break,’ and we called an ambulance,” Boodoosingh said. She said Nunez-Tesheira was initially unresponsive before emergency medical personnel arrived. She was taken by ambulance to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex at Mt Hope. Boodoosingh said she accompanied Nunez-Tesheira to the hospital, where doctors later confirmed that she had suffered a heart attack. She said Nunez-Tesheira is now responsive and receiving treatment. Her condition has stabilised and she is expected to recover.
