Pilot thought instructor who died inflight was ‘just pretending’
February 21, 2023
A flying instructor died inflight after suffering a cardiac arrest, but his co-pilot thought he was fooling around and only realized after landing on the runway with the man slumped on his shoulder. According to a newly published safety report on the incident, the pilot thought the instructor was pretending to be asleep as the pair flew a circuit above near Blackpool Airport in Lancashire, England, on June 29, 2022. Prior to takeoff, the pair chatted normally while the pilot taxied the craft out to the runway, the pilot told the AAIB. He said that the instructor’s last words were, “Looks good, there is nothing behind you.” Shortly after takeoff, the instructor’s head rolled back. As the two pilots knew each other well, the co-pilot thought his companion was “just pretending to take a nap” while he completed the circuit, the report said. When the plane turned around, the instructor slumped over so that his head rested on the co-pilot’s shoulder, but again the pilot still thought a joke was being played on him. After landing safely with the instructor still resting on his shoulder and not responding, the pilot realized something was wrong and alerted airport emergency services who were unable to revive the instructor.

February 22, 2023
The parents of a 20-year-old amateur footballer have criticised the NHS over the sudden death of their son. Luke Abrahams, from East Hunsbury, in Northampton, died on 23 January from a bacterial infection and a flesh-eating disease. His parents Richard Abrahams and Julie Needham said his condition was initially wrongly diagnosed, which might have led to his death. Integrated Care Northamptonshire said a review into the case was under way. Mr Abrahams initially complained of a sore throat and was given antibiotics for tonsillitis, which his father said was diagnosed over the phone. After another few days, his condition worsened, leading to pain in his legs so great he was unable to walk. He went to hospital but was sent home and had a zoom call with a doctor where he was told he had sciatica, his parents said. On the 22 January, Luke was taken to hospital again where the full extent of the condition was finally discovered. He had his leg amputated in an effort to save his life, but later died, as first reported in the Northampton Chronicle and Echo, external.

Tragic news from the UK on Tuesday, February 21 after it was revealed that a fit, gym-going father-of-three died suddenly at his home while he was recovering from a broken leg. The family of a 35-year-old father-of-three, who died suddenly on Sunday, February 19, are waiting for a post-mortem examination to find out what happened to the ‘fit’ gym-goer. Sam Mercer’s death was sudden and unexpected, explained his brother, Tom Hanlon. Tom noted that Sam, who worked as the landlord of the Volunteer Canteen pub in Waterloo, was recovering from a broken leg he suffered in December. He had undergone surgery for a broken femur on February 14 and was recovering well, according to Mr Hanlon. However, just under a week later, after laughing and joking with his family, the father of three children suddenly died. Tom told The Echo: “I spoke to him at 11 am that day and he was fine, he was joking around. Then I got the call, went round, and the paramedics and police were there.

Former Ireland rugby star Tom Tierney dies aged 46 as tributes pour in
February 24, 2023
Tributes have poured in after the death of former Ireland and Leicester Tigers scrum-half Tom Tierney at the age of 46. Tierney was a member of the Ireland squad that made it as far as the quarter-final play-offs of the 1999 Rugby World Cup, where he scored in a 44-14 win over Romania. He won eight caps for his country across a two-year span but lost his place to the emerging Peter Stringer—a fellow Limerick man—in 2000 and never returned for the national team. “Everyone in Irish Rugby is deeply shocked to hear of the sudden loss of Tom Tierney," read a statement from IRFU chief executive Kevin Potts. "Our immediate thoughts are with his wife Mary and daughters Isabel and Julia, as well as his many friends, colleagues and former team-mates.

Devastated Dublin family raise funds for teen after mum dies following short cancer battle
February 27, 2023
On Valentine's Day this year, the world changed for 17-year-old Kyle Fennel from Firhouse in Dublin after his beloved mum died just six weeks after receiving a cancer diagnosis. Fiona Fennel was feeling very unwell over Christmas, and was admitted to Tallaght Hospital on St Stephen's Day. She never came home. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer a week after she first went in to hospital, and it rapidly spread. Her death has absolutely shocked her family, who say she was working right up to Christmas Eve, and they didn't expect anything like this to happen.

Tributes for Irish woman found dead after going missing while hiking in Australia
February 23, 2023
An Irish paramedic who went missing while on a hike in Western Australia has been found dead in a national park, according to the local police service. Fiona Lavelle, 41, originally from Achill, had set off on a hike from Hellfire Bay as temperatures surged to 40 degrees. The Irish Mirror reports that when she failed to make contact with her husband, he raised concerns, and police soon found her Nissan car parked near the national park, which led to police searching the area. A hunt of the area was carried out by a dedicated team, who discovered the Mayo woman’s body shortly after their search began at the Cape Le Grand National Park.

In memory of those who “died suddenly” in the United Kingdom and Ireland, February 20- February 27, 2023
So very sad. All these children losing loving parents brings me to tears. My uncle died suddenly after the flu shot & covid booster on same day in 2021. My aunt said to me "he was my everything". THey were married 55 years. That is how I feel when I read these threads... that each person was someone's world.
