NY1, where Boone worked as a reporter and news anchor for over two decades, confirmed her death in an internal email shared with The Post. “She was a dedicated and principled journalist to the very end,” the memo said. “In her last week with us, she was still working on ideas for her show and sharing thoughts for making NY1 a continued beacon of truth for New Yorkers.” Boone was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021, when nagging, vague stomach discomfort evolved into horrible pains and a trip to the emergency room. However, just four months after being declared cancer-free, Boone revealed on social media that her battle with cancer had taken a turn for the worse.

Tallahassee, FL - Called off from work. He was taking a nap. His son heard him make a gurgling noise. His son couldn't revive him. The paramedics tried and he was gone. RIP MY BROTHER. His son made him get the JAB, otherwise he wouldn't let him see his Grandson. Terrible. I am very sad and devastated. Thank YOU, Mark, for all YOU do.
Cause of Death? Natural Causes. What can I do? I don't believe it for a minute. My Husband's mother is a Doctor. They both believe that my Brother had a massive heart attack. He had some health issues, but nothing terminal at the time of his death.

In memory of those who “died suddenly” in the United States, September 4-September 11, 2023
I just lost a childhood friend who was only 50 years old. She was a Dr. and would imagine she took the injections. She first developed a brain cancer in Jan of 2023 and passed on September 9th. She left behind two children and her 52 year old husband. I've been watching my HIgh School Reunion "In Memory" section. I believe it is going to increse rapidly. I didn't finish in the top of my class, but may be the last remaining.
This is outrageous.
But democide is apparently the new normal and very fashionable these days...
