Tragedy as young Aussie boy suddenly dies in his sleep: 'Such a beautiful, funny and kind soul taken way too early'

A local community has been rocked by the shock death of a much-loved teenager who tragically died in his sleep.

Heartbreaking tributes are flowing for Melbourne student Balin Menzies, 15, who died suddenly on April 21. It is not yet known what caused his death.

Balin was actively involved in various sporting and community groups across Greensborough in Melbourne's northeast.

The teen was also a promising street artist who painted murals under the name Posh, including a wall at Greensborough Skate Park.

The mural is now surrounded by spray paint cans and flowers in his honour.

Greensborough College paid tribute to the Year 10 student when classes resumed last week.

'It has been an incredibly sad start to the term for the Greensborough College community as we mourn the passing of Balin Menzies, our student, classmate and friend,' the statement read.

'He made many friends and impressed teachers and students with his artistic talents and cheerful demeanour. Balin will be sadly missed by all.'

'We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends, and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.'

Local sporting clubs shared similar tributes.

'Balin was an amazing teenager who played under 12 cricket with GCC in 2014 to 2016 and continued to support the club by cheering on his Mum, Dad and cousin Regan,' Greensborough Cricket Club posted.

Referees, coaches and players at Watsonia Warriors Junior Basketball Club and rival clubs wore black armbands in Balin's honour last weekend.

We may never know why “died suddenly” is happening, especially if Dugway Duke has anything to say about it.

Wasn’t Balin one of the Tolkien dwarves?

This is getting ridiculous. Posting an article every time someone in the world (with 8 billion population) “dies suddenly.” You’re giving FR a bad name.

I, for one, have grown tired of every person, this one an unknown, dying so someone can try to imply it has something to do with the vaccines. People die everyday and not everyone’s death has to do with covid. There was nothing in the article that mentioned vaccines or the virus and as he’s been dead for 12 days and there is this great effort to point fingers at the vaxes that 2 and 2 would have been identified before this.

It is unfortunate that young people die, some being achievers, but it happens with great regularity. I watched a lot of people die in many places throughout the world in the military, but we didn’t see any international ink about them.

The whole covid thing was a political action from A to Z and it’s not over. The virus will be with us for history and forward so get used to it. There are no defeated viruses as long as some lab somewhere has a test tube of it that can be released when someone gets a hair crosswise just like C-19. Let’s move on. There are other fish to fry. Maybe how about the upcoming US presidential election and recovering both houses in 2024 so this country can be put back on track with a conservative president appointing legitimate judges that have the country in mind and not just half the house. Then maybe we can overhaul the justice department and clean up the US’s mess if you’re a citizen. All our problems should begin here in the US as it effects the world more than anyone else out there.

The Free Republic Assumed COVID-19 Vaccine Death Obituary Ping




You are being pinged because this death notice was important enough to have its own thread, so you have to admit, it’s important!




Grim Reaper Approved!

So... children and teenagers have regularly died without explanation in these large numbers...

Probably going to see a lot more “died suddenly, doctors baffled” in the coming days. Ones engaged in active lives and sports will be on the front edge of the pandemic deaths of the vaccinated.

Yeah....kids and athletes die suddenly all the time. No news here folks just move along and line up for your 5th booster. Ignore the VAERs report. Injury and premature death from the VAX will be a threat to Vaxxers for the rest of their lives. NOBODY know what the long term effects will be.

It is unfortunate that young people die, some being achievers, but it happens with great regularity.

In my high school class of 200, 15 died before graduation. Eight died in their sleep due to embolisms, four dropped dead while playing chess, six died from myocarditis which they got from walking to school and one just died after attending a Calculus Club meet. He died for no apparent reason!

It is perfectly normal for young, fit children to drop dead of heart failure, stroke and embolisms. Perfectly normal!

Yeah, that's the ticket!

No, this goddam, rotten "fish" needs to be deep fried, again and again, until it's carbon black.

I want to see detailed investigations into the dangerous mRNA injections, (yes, they are far more dangerous than any "vaccine" that has ever been mainstreamed.) And I damn sure want to get to the bottom of all the nefarious decisions made by the so-called "best and brightest" leading to the destruction of nearly every Western society's economies, leading to a corrupt, destructive potato being installed as US President and leading to greatly elevated incidences of mental illness, alcoholism and suicide (to name a few effects caused by shuttering societies for years) in every country that levied lockdowns on its citizens.

No, when it comes to the scamdemic and the dangerous and quickly useless injections, (efficacy decays to ~9% inside of 60 days), none of this "mistakes were made we need to move on" bullcrap is acceptable. Clarity, naming names, exposing all the evil scumbags who did this massive, multifaceted crime and bringing them to justice are the only acceptable paths at this point.

“I want to see detailed investigations into the dangerous mRNA injections...”

You don’t get it by pushing back with everyone who dies. All that does is create a wince every time someone tries to bring it up, especially when it probably or definitely doesn’t apply. People are tired of hearing about a bad memory that our government has failed us accomplishing and we are down river now.

You want results? Go after the government that did it. The people on the street are not going to do much and haven’t since 2018. I haven’t seen any changes and bringing it back up on these boards every time is not the answer.

“NOBODY know what the long term effects will be.”

And nobody has said the vax or the virus is even involved. We’re talking chicken little or the boy who cried wolf. People will ignore it or try to step away from the information if they are bugged enough. And there are many out there that are refusing to get the vax and ignoring the people talking about it.

Alinsky:

* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

When you hear “suddenly” or “unexpected”, deep deep down in your soul, you know what to think and you can’t explain it away. It’s just there.
