"Erv Woolsey passed away this morning," he wrote at the time. "He had complications from a surgery and just couldn’t overcome it. He was a very tough man, and fought hard, but sadly it was just too much. We will miss him so very much and will never forget all the time we had together. Won’t ever be the same without him,” he wrote alongside a photo of the two together. Little did he know, another of his close friends was losing his battle, too. The next day, he returned to social media to announce the death of another "treasured" member of his crew, fiddler and mandolinist Gene Elders. He didn't share any information about the musician's cause of death, but confirmed that he passed away in the hours following Woolsey.

Lake Elsinore boy, 12, who collapsed while running in heat died of heart defect, report says
March 24, 2024
A Lake Elsinore student who collapsed in August after exercising at school on a hot day died of a heart defect, a coroner’s report concludes. The heat and physical exertion also contributed to the Aug. 29 death of 12-year-old Yahushua Robinson, the report states. The report comes as a new bill has been introduced seeking to create extreme weather guidelines for California schools, in hopes of preventing other families from suffering similar losses. On that August day, Janee Robinson got a call from Canyon Lake Middle School in Lake Elsinore at about 11 a.m. and was told her son had collapsed. Yahushua had been sprinting with other students during PE class, according to a description of video footage written by Deputy Coroner Myranda Montez and included in a report requested from the Riverside County Sheriff Coroner’s Bureau. “Shortly after, Yahushua was seen bending over and grabbing at his chest,” Montez wrote. He fell and got back up multiple times, she wrote, helped by other students and then by an adult, presumably his teacher. When “it appeared Yahushua became unresponsive,” the teacher carried him into the shade off-camera, the report states. Paramedics arrived within minutes, but they — and later hospital staff — were unable to save Yahushua, who went into cardiac arrest en route to the emergency room, according to the report. He was pronounced dead at 12:25 p.m. The official cause of death was a “coronary artery anomaly.” “Significant conditions contributing to death,” but not related to the cause, included “presumptive environmental heat exposure and recent physical exertion,” the report states.

Family looking for answers after Norfolk inmate dies
March 18, 2024
Norfolk, Va. — The death of a Norfolk City Jail inmate just over a week ago left a family devastated. Since Darryl Arnold was booked into the Norfolk City Jail on March 1, his family said they talked to him every morning. "I waited on Friday, you know, expecting a call around 8 or 9 a.m. He never called," said his sister, Latashia Person. Person and Arnold's mother, Mary, said he’d been complaining about chills and shortness of breath to the family and to jail staff in the days leading up to his death. The Norfolk Sheriff’s Office said they were alerted that Arnold was having a "medical emergency" in the early hours of March 8. He was transported to the jail's medical ward before being taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead just seven hours later. The family tells 13News Now that someone in the medical examiner’s office reached out to them directly to tell them Arnold had bacterial meningitis, based on their lab results. Meningitis is an inflammation of the fluid and membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The same infection, but different strain, killed a Hampton elementary schooler last week. School officials said the Asbury Elementary School student died from streptococcal group A meningitis, a rare form of an already rare infection.

March 18, 2024
New York - Danny’s too-short life was very full. He was an athlete, an elevator mechanic, a butcher, and finally the owner of a dog care business - his passion. Dan was a big personality - a loving son and big brother, adored by his large extended family and his many, many friends. He loved animals and the people close to him with all his heart. When you were with Danny, you knew you would at some point laugh til you cried, he was so funny. On March 17th, Danny went into cardiac arrest. On Monday, March 18, 2024, the world lost the very large presence of Danny Diers. If so inclined, in lieu of flowers, a donation to an animal rescue shelter or organization in Danny’s memory would make Dan happy.
From our researcher: This is the death notice for Dan, who walked my dog. Beautiful soul.

I now think the more vaccinated since birth, the more likely chronic illness and early death from "whatever". There um...needs to be a study between people never vaccinated versus the vaccinated. A study that will never happen.
If 99% of WNBA players are jabbed, I would expect more surprises. Have any WNBA players died suddenly?
