Friends reveal US mom of 2 may have died from ‘medical issue’ before being eaten by shark in Indonesia
October 7, 2024
The American tourist who was devoured by a shark in Indonesia is believed to have died from a “medical issue” while diving, her friends told The Post Monday. Experienced diver Colleen Monfore, a retired mom of two from Holland, Michigan, was enjoying her dream vacation — a seven-week diving tour with her husband Mike — when tragedy struck on Sept. 26, family pal Rick Sass said. Just a few days into the trip, Monfore, 68, disappeared during a group dive around Pulau Reong island. Two weeks later, fishermen in Timor-Leste caught the shark and cut human remains out of its belly more than 70 miles from where she vanished. “We do not believe this was a shark attack,” Sass told The Post. “Mike thinks she suffered some kind of medical issue in the water…They dove massive numbers of trips with us over 30 years. Bali, Philippines, Bikini Atoll, you name it. She knew what she was doing.” He noted that shark attacks against divers are extremely rare. “And sharks are not that way. We’ve dove with hammerheads, tiger sharks, bull sharks. You have to give them respect and be cautious, but they won’t just attack you.”

B.C. helicopter pilot was sick days before crash: report
September 30, 2024
The pilot flying the helicopter that crashed in British Columbia two years ago was sick days prior to the incident, according to a report from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB). On Nov. 9, 2022, the Geotech Aviation Ltd. Airbus Helicopters AS350 B3 helicopter flew from a staging area at Kitsault, B.C., for a visual flight rules flight to conduct an airborne geophysical survey over mountainous terrain. Only the pilot was on board the chopper. The helicopter flew to the survey area that was located approximately 12 nautical miles south-southwest of the staging area. After approximately 1.5 hours of flying and 6 low-level survey passes, the pilot reported feeling unwell and stated that he was returning to the staging area earlier than scheduled. The helicopter did not arrive at the staging area, and an emergency locator transmitter signal was received by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria, British Columbia at 1118. A search and rescue aircraft found the helicopter 2 nautical miles south-southwest of the staging area on a heavily forested mountainside, according to TSB. The pilot received fatal injuries. The occurrence helicopter was destroyed. Following its investigation, TSB said investigators couldn't "determine the full context" of the fatal crash because the helicopter did not have flight data recording equipment that captures images and audio from aircraft cockpits. However, “during the occurrence flight, the pilot experienced a medical event likely causing a degree of incapacitation that resulted in an erratic flight path, and the helicopter impacted terrain,” said TSB.

Researcher's note - CAMH is the Canadian Mental Health Association. The COVID "vaccines" were not the only thing harmful to young people during the pandemic. The COVID lock-downs, which were unnecessary and disingenuous, have caused an epidemic of mental health issues in young people.
