LFO Founding Member Brian Gillis Dies at Age 47 — What Was His Cause of death?
March 31, 2023
Brian "Brizz" Gillis, one of the original co-founders of the '90s boy band LFO, has sadly passed away. His former bandmate Brad Fischetti confirmed his death in a statement on social media. He was 47 years old. Despite the cause of death not being officially disclosed to the public, Extra reported that a since-deleted social media post from Brian's friends stated his unexpected death was related to a heart attack or a similar event. LFO member Brad Fischetti was among the first to comment on Brian's death in an Instagram tribute post. Brian, alongside the late Rich Cronin (1974-2010), founded LFO in Massachusetts in 1995 — they connected with Brad in Orlando in 1996, where they signed with Lou Pearlman's Transcontinental Records. The trio achieved modest success in the late '90s, but by 1999, Brian was frustrated with the lack of progress the band made, so he left to pursue a solo career.

Army IDs 9 Soldiers from 101st Airborne Killed in Black Hawk Crashes in Kentucky
March 31, 2023
The Army on Friday identified the nine soldiers killed in a crash involving two Black Hawk helicopters Wednesday evening in southwestern Kentucky. The two helicopters were from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne, and were conducting a routine training exercise flying at night with the pilots wearing night vision devices. There was no clear indication of inclement weather, based on local weather reports. The incident marked one of the worst training incidents in the Army's history. It also has returned the spotlight to incidents with Black Hawk helicopters, the service's key aviation tool for getting soldiers in and out of battle, which has been plagued with safety concerns for decades.
All soldiers were assigned to the 101st Airborne out of Fort Campbell, Kentucky:
Warrant Officer 1 Jeffery Barnes, 33, of Milton, Florida
Cpl. Emilie Marie Eve Bolanos, 23, of Austin, Texas
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Zachary Esparza, 36, of Jackson, Missouri
Sgt. Isaacjohn Gayo, 27, of Los Angeles, California
Staff Sgt. Joshua C. Gore, 25, of Morehead City, North Carolina
Warrant Officer 1 Aaron Healy, 32, of Cape Coral, Florida
Staff Sgt. Taylor Mitchell, 30, of Mountain Brook, Alabama
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Rusten Smith, 32, of Rolla, Missouri
Sgt. David Solinas Jr., 23, of Oradell, New Jersey
At 10 p.m. CT Wednesday, the two helicopters crashed into a field not far from a residential area. It is unclear what led to the crashes as Army officials are still investigating. It's the deadliest incident for the 101st Airborne since another crash involving a pair of Black Hawks in 1988 that killed 17 soldiers. That crash also occurred around the same time of night and with fair weather, according to reporting at the time. Investigators concluded that the crash occurred when one Black Hawk slammed into another mid-air while conducting a routine maneuver.

I am raising funds for my best friend Greg who suddenly and unexpectedly lost his mother to Covid complications on March 23.

Despite her commitment to an exceptionally healthy lifestyle, these illnesses came on suddenly and took her from us three days later.

Lisa was a respected and valued member of her community and dedicated her life to helping the students at the school she directed for the last 25 years of her life. She made Georgia her home in 1993 and worked tirelessly to raise her two children, Greg and his sister. Recently, she was one class away from finishing her master's degree and was simultaneously advocating for her daughter (who has been suffering from a chronic illness).

I don't understand the use of the word "unexpectedly" in these announcements. Everyone here expects it.
I never even heard of a kid without a known illness who died in his/her sleep until the last two years. I knew of one with an undiagnosed heart problem who died during some type of physical activity and a couple with cancer who died. I even knew of one who died at a baseball game when the ball hit him in the chest, and I read about a few kids getting too hot at practice and having heat strokes. I never knew of kids that had heart attacks when I was a kid or even when my daughter was young.
Surely, some of these parents who got their kids jabbed are starting to be concerned. They have to know this isn’t normal.
