It doesn’t seem to say what he died from. Did I miss it?
I am going venture "Lack of Medical Care" being he walked into the ER waiting room and died there and the average wait time is over 5 hours.
Last stage of leprosy.
“It doesn’t seem to say what he died from. Did I miss it?”
No, and as disturbing as this story is I think they’ve left out the most important part.
OK, we know nothing about this guy except that he was very young to just be dying all of a sudden.
They say he had a rash, well, it must have been pretty bad in some way or another for him to have gone to the hospital over it.
So, what did he die of? Is anybody, besides us, even asking the question?
What I know about medicine you could put in a thimble, but dying from a “rash”? I’d take a WAG estimate and say maybe he’d broken out with Shingles around his torso. Shingles looks and feels like a severe rash. I’ve heard that if Shingles spreads up over one’s chest higher than their heart, it’s fatal.
