December 17, 2024
Lima, Ohio – Jordan D. D. Banks, age 20, went home to be with his savior on December 15, 2024, at 4:28 am, surrounded by his family. Known as “Jbanks”, Jordan was a 2023 graduate of Shawnee High School where he thrived as running back on their football team with plans to continue his dream of playing college football. In early 2023 his dreams would take a back seat after receiving the devastating diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. Despite being given a month to live, Jordan knew ultimately it was up to God. He knew with the support of his friends and family he would be able to persevere. Because of his willingness to fight and determination he took the leap of faith in trying a trial treatment which little was known about and became the first with metastatic brain cancer to do so. The success he had with this drug opened doors for others in need of treatment now and in the future. Through the ups and downs of this two-year journey not only did Jordan’s faith grow, but he was also able to encourage and help others’ faith grow alongside him. Jordan’s boldness towards life drew people in from everywhere, creating the army that supported him throughout his entire journey. His sarcasm, love, and personality will be missed by everyone in many walks of life. Despite his young age, Jordan still had such a deep love for the Lord, his family, and friends. A heart of gold stopped beating, two willing hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Sudden death of young tenor [39]
December 19, 2024
Colleagues are mourning the sudden death of the La Scala-trained Korean tenor Sehoon Moon. Sehoon Moon was in the midst of a busy season. He was due to return to Glyndebourne to sing Alfredo Germont in Verdi’s La Traviata and Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Bohème at Malmö Opera.
Researcher's Note - Update: Moon is a suicide: Singers’ agents tell us of a tsunami of depression that is sweeping through the profession. Opera budgets have been cut, contracts arrive late and the basic security of the profession is under threat. One agent says she has four singers presently receiving treatment for depression. The conversations were sparked by the suicide, on Tuesday in Korea, of the popular tenor Sehoon Moon. Sehoon was 39. He was working with Glyndebourne, Malmo and opera houses in France and had every reason to feel confident. But he had given up his residency in Milan during Covid and had failed to find a partner to accompany him through life.
We have been reading for quite a while about the significant increase in cancer, particularly "turbo cancer." For some reason, the U.S. part of this latest "died suddenly" list seems to have a very noticeable number of younger people (age in 40s) passing away from cancer. I don't recall being aware of anything like this prior to Covid.
It is also noteworthy how many people have "no cause" of death reported. This is another change from the pre-Covid days.
It is odd that the population is not demanding answers about this. Do they not know or is denial the best option?
So - I know of several Died Suddenlies. Their families are just shrugging it off and going on about their business. How can this be??? It truly feels like a cult - if a cult member is killed by the cult leaders, the other cult members feel that it was deserved somehow. There is no outrage. I am not understanding it - I can NOT wrap my head around this insanity. Especially the babies. Are there NO HONEST OB/GYNs left in the world???? This is TERRIFYING.
