Jimmy Buffett’s Cause of death Revealed: Singer Reportedly Battled Disease For Years
September 1, 2023
Jimmy Buffett died after a lengthy skin cancer battle, according to a source at TMZ. The singer, who was 76, was apparently diagnosed with the disease four years ago and it turned into lymphoma, which was ultimately the cause of his death, the insider said. “He lived his life in the sun, literally and figuratively,” one close friend shared. The source also said that Jimmy began receiving hospice care last Monday and had close family and friends with him throughout. Sir Paul McCartney also apparently went to the “Margaritaville” crooner’s home a week ago and sang to his family. Jimmy’s death shocked many people when it was announced on his website on Friday night, and since then, there’s been a huge outpouring of heartfelt tributes from fellow celebrities and fans. Miles Teller, Brian Wilson, Andy Cohen, and more took to social media to share special tribute posts. Political figures like Bill Clinton also expressed sadness over Jimmy’s passing.

Buffet was "vaccinated":
Jimmy Buffett was quoted as saying, “But we made it here, and I just have to thank people like this band, this crew, first responders, healthcare workers &) the mRNA researchers who made the vaccine, and made it possible for us to play for you tonight. Get that vaccine." So now the mainstream media is saying Jimmy Buffett died of cancer, according to a new report. After the musician was diagnosed with skin cancer four years ago, the disease progressed to lymphoma. I don’t believe their lies for one minute. The CDC, our government and Big Pharma, will continue to censor the truth. The vaccine killed Jimmy Buffett. Like it’s killed and injured millions of others. And if this angers you, good. And some will say, ”Well, he was old and all”. Bullshit! Many baby boomers are living beyond their years. So you can take your theories are stuff it! Because I could care less! You need to wake up and face the facts. The vaccine kills. So go ahead and retweet this and add your little quote to it. You know who’s not dying of covid? The unvaccinated!

Jamie Cail’s family reject official cause of death and claim swimmer was beaten
September 1, 2023
The family of American swimming champion Jamie Cail has rejected the results of an autopsy that determined she died of an accidental fentanyl overdose. Cail, 42, was found unresponsive on the floor of her home on the Virgin Islands in the early hours of 21 February. Local authorities said that Cail’s boyfriend transported her to the hospital, where she received CPR, but she died shortly after. Last week, the Virgin Islands Police Department said in a statement that an autopsy by the medical examiner’s office had determined Cail died of an accidental fentanyl intoxication with aspiration of gastric content — meaning particles from her stomach had entered her lungs. But her family has since refuted those results and alleged in an interview with Insider that pictures of Cail’s body taken by a family liaison showed the Pan Pacific gold medallist had unexplained bruises on her face and body. “We know that Jamie did not ingest fentanyl intentionally. There is definitely foul play,” Cail’s cousin Jessica DeVries told the outlet. “Her face is bashed in. Did fentanyl do that to her?”

Illinois to provide burial for migrant toddler who died on bus traveling from Texas to Chicago
August 17, 2023
Illinois will provide for Thursday’s funeral and burial for the migrant toddler who died last week on a bus headed to Chicago from Texas, officials said. Jismary Alejandra Barboza González, who would have turned 4 next week, died Aug. 10 while on a chartered bus, part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s program begun last year of sending migrants crossing into the state to Democratic-led cities across the country. Jismary died Thursday while the bus traveled Interstate 57 through Marion County, in southern Illinois, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of St. Louis. County Coroner Troy Cannon’s autopsy was inconclusive as to the cause of death. He ordered microscopic tests of tissue samples from the child in a search for abnormalities. The coroner’s office said Wednesday it had no updates. Gisela Gonzalez, who lives in Venezuela, said there was no indication that the child was in distress or needed medical attention before she apparently suffered cardiac arrest on the bus. She said Jismary’s parents faced down the treacherous Darien Gap and crossed five Central American countries and Mexico before turning themselves in at a U.S. immigration checkpoint. Texas officials said that when the child became ill, the bus pulled to the side of the road and on-board security personnel called emergency responders. Paramedics assisted the girl, but she later died at a hospital.

Dozens Sickened, Five Killed by Meningococcal Disease Outbreak in Virginia
September 1, 2023
An outbreak of meningococcal disease in Virginia has sickened dozens of people and killed at least five, local health officials reported this week. Though severe cases are typically rare, the state has seen a noticeable increase over the past year. The bacterial infection is vaccine-preventable, and most cases during this outbreak have been unvaccinated. Most cases have been reported in eastern Virginia, and testing has found that the cases are being caused by highly genetically related strains of the bacteria. But officials have not identified a common risk factor for its spread as of yet. Generally, these bacteria are transmitted via a person’s saliva and spit, such as through kissing or sharing personal items like lipstick. Meningococcal bacteria are not as contagious as other respiratory infections like the flu or covid-19, though, and it tends to require close, prolonged contact for transmission to happen.

Natural causes, not foul play, led to man's death in Gresham parking lot, Medical examiner says
August 30, 2023
Portland, OR - Gresham Police say a man who died in a parking lot in July, did so of natural causes. 46-year-old William Echols was found dead on the evening of July 29, in the 2500 block of SE 1st Street in Gresham. Officers found Echols near his vehicle with a possible head injury. A Multnomah County Medical Examiner responded to the scene and a full examination was subsequently performed.

Massachusetts man who collapsed while running Santa Rosa Marathon remembered as ‘blessing’
August 28, 2023
Sam Norton was running the Santa Rosa [CA] Marathon on Sunday when he collapsed just before reaching his 23rd mile. Medical personnel rushed to the 26-year-old’s side along the Santa Rosa Creek Trail and performed chest compressions as runners passed by. He was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Details about his cause of death were not available Monday, though he was diagnosed with a rare condition earlier this year. But Norton had collapsed near mile 14 while running the Boston Marathon in April. He was hospitalized for two days and ultimately diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis, a rare condition in which damaged muscle rapidly breaks down and releases a damaging protein into the blood. He was cleared for running and successfully ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon three weeks later.

A study in 2022 found a link between Rhabdomypolysis and Covid vaccination:
During COVID-19 vaccine period, the reporting rate of rhabdomyolysis after COVID-19 vaccination was significantly higher compared to the reporting rate of rhabdomyolysis after all other vaccinations.

Inmate dies at Lawrence County Jail
August 28, 2023
Bedford, IN - On Saturday, Aug. 26, an inmate died from a medical event while incarcerated at the Lawrence County Jail. Sheriff Greg Day has requested Indiana State Police detectives to conduct a thorough investigation into the death of 38-year-old Damien Pinnick, of Mitchell. According to Sheriff Day, Pinnick was housed in a cell by himself in "M" Block. Correctional Officers had made multiple contacts with Pinnick throughout Saturday morning. Around noon, an officer supplied Pinnick with his lunch tray and had a brief conversation with him. A short time later, when officers were picking up the lunch trays, Pinnick was unresponsive in his cell. Officers attempted life-saving measures, including CPR and the use of an AED, however, those efforts were unsuccessful. IU Health EMS responded to the jail as well, but Pinnick was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy was completed that same day. At this time, it appears that Pinnick suffered from a possible seizure, which led to his death. Toxicology results are pending.

Obscene. Just obscene.
And yet we are conditioned to accept this as "the new norm."
NEVER!
i was a jimmy buffett fan when i was in high school.
i had his double live album.
when i saw him in concert he recycled all the jokes and the song intros from the record. it was scripted to the nth degree
jimmy buffett never deviated from the script and it cost him his life.
