"The gap is big"
November 19, 2022
There is news, there are no words. Christoph Kunsmann died suddenly and that still sounds very unreal, not only to me. I am happy and with great gratitude to remember his diverse commitment to our Bretzenheim district. A few weeks ago, the association 'Schönes Mainz-Bretzenheim' celebrated its 5th birthday at the ZMO. The decision to found the association came about one evening in the Bretzenheim town hall, when we were considering how we could set accents for the beautification of the district, which are financed by donations, despite the tight Mainz city treasury at the time. When this question came up, Christoph Kunsmann said very spontaneously, but with deep conviction: "We need a support association." And the idea was born to make projects possible with a new association that would otherwise never have been implemented.

The police close the case where a man (65) was found dead on Torstrand
November 27, 2022
The man who was found dead on Torstrand was on his way home after an pensioner meeting on Fram. The man was found at Ryesgate 28, the red brick building where several companies are located, not far from the railway underpass at Torstrand. He was found lying on the pavement inside the parked cars. That was probably the reason why he was not seen until Saturday morning. It was at half past nine on Saturday morning, October 29, that the man was found by a young man and a young woman. The emergency services were notified, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated, but it was too late. The man was 65 years old. The police say they have concluded that nothing criminal has happened. The preliminary autopsy report shows that he died of heart failure. He lived not too far from the place where he was found, and since he had been on a date at Fram the night before, there is reason to assume that he was on his way home when he felt ill and fell over.

In 2021, 746 excess deaths were recorded for all causes, of which 60 can be attributed to heat or cold. In 2022, up to November alone, 1,436 more all-cause deaths have already been recorded, 72 of which are due to heat. “Since 1 January 2020, MoMo has identified 2,469 more deaths in the Islands than expected from all causes and 161 deaths attributable to extreme heat or cold,” said March.
He also pointed out that “if we look at 2022 in detail, the months of August and July are the months with the highest excess of deaths from all causes: 228 and 216, respectively.” March said that “more surprising and disturbing is the figure for 2021, where, according to the Carlos III Health Institute, there was an excess of deaths in Spain of almost 25,000 people, the origin of which is not detailed. This figure grows in 2022, as according to Eurostat (another measurement system different from MoMo), Spain was – with 48,000 deaths – the European Union country with the highest excess mortality between March and June of this year, compared to the average for the same period in the previous four years.”
Spain’s public health expert noted that “one theory believes that the increased mortality has to do with the capacity of the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.” However, he said that “the excess deaths in 2021 and 2022 will be, above all, due to an increase in strokes, myocardial infarction, pulmonary thromboembolism and coronavirus infection itself.” March noted that “there are some theories – very widespread in certain forums and which I do not believe – which suggest that the cause of the excess mortality is due to complications arising from mass vaccination against COVID-19.”

La Behobia shows the dangers of pushing the body to the limit in sport: "It is vital to listen to the warnings"
November 18, 2022
The Behobia-San Sebastián is one of the most beautiful and important races in Spain, Europe and the world. Not only is it one of the toughest tests of those that are made up of a distance similar to a half marathon, but it is also one of the events that holds the greatest historical symbolism. An incomparable challenge for thousands of runners who meet each year in a race that has unparalleled mystique and magic.
However, and unfortunately, the test again gave more to talk about due to the health problems that were registered than due to the sporting event. As in previous years, the Behobia-San Sebastián has become one of the best examples of how some runners underestimate the hardness of this type of event, putting their physical integrity at stake as a result of unconsciousness and lack of preparation.
In a test that had 30,000 participants, there were 3 cases of heart attacks and 125 medical attentions, almost all due to heat strokes resulting from the unusual 26 degrees that were recorded during the race. Once again tragedy was touched, something that did occur in 2021 when a runner lost his life, in addition to registering two other cardiorespiratory arrests. In the last 20 years, the death toll stands at six. Data that have transferred the debate to the streets and social networks.
Enrique Rodríguez Cal 'Dacal', the boxer who broke a 40-year Olympic drought, dies
November 23, 2022
The Asturian boxer Enrique Rodríguez Cal, known when he was a professional as Dacal, has died in Avilés, a victim of ALS, the disease he has fought against in recent months, family sources have informed EFE. Dacal, 71 years old, was diagnosed with amyotrophic adjunctive disease (ALS) earlier this year, in which he still took part in a popular race, because he was an athlete until then. Dacal was the only gachupin boxer to win medals in the three main amateur boxing tournaments, the Olympic Games (bronze in 1972), the World Championship (bronze in 1974) and the European Championship (bronze in 1973 and silver in 1975). But he was, very significantly, the first gachupin individual proud medalist in 20 years. Since Cielo Bizarro's shooting medal in Helsinki 1952, no gachupin had climbed the podium alone until him, with his bronze in 1972.

Belgrade: A young man died suddenly at the age of 32 as a result of a stroke
November 24, 2022
Serbia was shaken by the story of Ivan S, a young man from Belgrade who, unfortunately, died suddenly at the age of 32 as a result of a stroke. His family didn't even have a funeral, but the residents of Borča, where this young man lived, united and collected money to help Ivan's sick mother organize the last farewell for her son. It is tragic how a young life ended due to an illness that is not typical for young people. On the other hand, stroke is the leading cause of death in both men and women in Serbia, and every year around 28,000 people in our country suffer a stroke.
