We are several days behind, due to the ongoing spike in “sudden deaths” worldwide, our not-yet-complete incorporation of a new tracking system, and some health problems of our own.

We therefore post these latest compilations just a few days prior to the next ones, which will, of course, include Lisa Marie Presley, and whichever other such high-profile shockers will have made news by mid-week.

There is evidence that Rich committed suicide; but inasmuch as he was “vaccinated” (and vehemently so), he is included here, since “vaccination” seems to have increased the likelihood of suicide along with all its other adverse consequences.

Lil Keed's Cause of Death Confirmed by Coroner 7 Months After He Died suddenly at Age 24

January 3, 2023

Remembering Lil Keed

Lil Keed's cause of death has been determined after he died suddenly in May. The rapper, who was associated with Young Thug's YSL Records, died at the age of 24. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled that he died of natural causes due to eosinophilia, PEOPLE confirms. The Mayo Clinic defines eosinophilia as a "higher than normal level of eosinophils" which "are a type of disease-fighting white blood cell. This condition most often indicates a parasitic infection, an allergic reaction or cancer." According to the autopsy report obtained by PEOPLE, in Lil Keed's case, the coroner said it's unclear what caused the condition.

A Super Bowl champion battled rare kidney cancer

Former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Ronnie Hillman lost his battle with cancer in December 2022. In a social media post, Hillman’s family shared he was diagnosed with renal medullary carcinoma (RMC), an aggressive type of kidney cancer, several months earlier. The 31-year-old played with several teams but most notably played with the Denver Broncos, leading the team in rushing during Super Bowl 50. In general, kidney cancer is difficult to diagnose because tumors can develop deep inside the body and can grow quite large without causing any pain or health problems.

Honoring Dave Schubert, San Francisco’s Wildest Street Photographer

January 9, 2023

On Friday morning, I got word that my favorite San Francisco photographer Dave Schubert had died suddenly. The long-time Mission District resident was discovered on Thursday, Jan. 5 by concerned friends at the 26th Street home Schubert lived in for two decades. Schubert’s work had been a minor obsession of mine ever since 2005, when I first saw one of his photographs at a 111 Minna show. The photo in question — a chaotic 16th Street brawl involving seven people and a bicycle — has hung in my home ever since. It offers a perfect snapshot of Mission District nightlife as I knew it back then: a grimy, hedonistic community of bartenders, graffiti writers, skaters, punks and bike messengers.

Amazon employees at a Colorado fulfillment center lashed out at the e-retailer for allegedly forcing them to “literally walk over a dead body” after a co-worker suffered a fatal heart attack. Rick Jacobs, 61, was about to head home after working overnight at the DEN4 warehouse in Colorado Springs when he collapsed to the floor at 5 a.m. on Dec. 27, an Amazon spokesperson told KKTV-TV. Plant managers allegedly then cordoned off his body using cardboard boxes while staffers arriving for their morning shift were forced to continue working just feet away, according to witnesses cited by the Guardian. The staffer’s lengthy post laid out a horrific scene as workers showed up for their shift. “When I arrived at 6:30 this morning I saw the fire truck ambulance and police department still at the facility,” the post said. “Not knowing why they were there we all went in clocked in and started to work. That’s when we found out from a night shift employee (not from management) that someone had died and that person was still at the facility,” the post continued. “There were some employees who were less than 10ft away from the deceased (who was covered) working.”

Graham was killed by a blood clot [Facebook]:

Glenhope Elementary community, tonight there will an opportunity to gather together and say a prayer for our friend and teacher, Kimberly Graham. For those who don’t know yet, while visiting family in Indiana, she had a lot of leg pain, then fell and was rushed to the hospital with a very severe blood clot. They were able to remove the blood clot but there have been many complications since. (I apologize that I may not have all of the information). I do know she is unconscious and unresponsive and in critical condition. She definitely needs our prayers and strength.

I'm disbelieving the news this morning that my mother had a heart attack and died. She had already been up and posting Christmas wishes on Facebook less than an hour before a blood clot caused her heart to stop beating. It feels surreal. We'd appreciate some space to grieve at this shocking news, so we'll call you as we feel appropriate.

Another shocking sudden death of a very fit-looking, young 40-year-old NJ firefighter, business owner, and father-to-be.

Question for MCM: Is there (or will there be) a link on your homepage where we readers can simply "drop a link" to a sudden death which we find in our local communities -- as an alternative to dropping the link in a commments section as i am doing right now? It might be easier for you guys who are compiling the data (?) ... Just my 2 cents.
