12-Year-Old New Jersey Boy Dies Suddenly During Football Practice
Breitbart ^ | February 19, 2023 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 02/19/2023 11:56:56 PM PST by lowbridge

A family in Newark, New Jersey, is left with questions after their 12-year-old son collapsed and died suddenly during football practice at a local field.

The boy, Elijah Jordan Brown-Garcia, was reportedly performing drills along with his team, the Essex County Predators, at the West Side Park football field when he collapsed.

Team officials say that Brown-Garcia was not engaged in heavy activity at the time, according to News 12.

“No contact. It was just drills running back and forth. He didn’t get hit,” said his mother, Raven Brown. “He was a healthy kid…I don’t know why Friday night was his day.”

“He was so happy to be there. He didn’t know that it was going to be his last day,” Brown added.

Brown added that her ten-year-old son, who was also at the practice, called her and told her that Elijah had collapsed and they were “fanning” him and pouring water on him.

The bereaved mother also says that even though there were at least three calls for an ambulance, it took. more than 40 minutes for one to arrive. In fact, she told the media that she beat the ambulance to the field when she rushed there herself.

“I beat the ambulance there,” Brown insisted. “Like 30-40 minutes. It took them a long time.”

Brown is also wondering why no one involved with the team or the league is CPR certified. She added that the coach admitted that no one on site was able to help.

Overheating combined with dehydration is a dangerous combination. I remember doing laps around the football field to prepare for track. The exertion was so much I had to vomit, which can dehydrate the body.

According to Dr. Google: “Heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition that occurs when your core body temperature reaches 104 F (40 C) or higher. Heatstroke requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent damage to your brain and other vital organs that can result in death.”

The amount of competition on these youth teams is causing the kids to work themselves to death. Yikes!

Yes, of course! As we all know, New Jersey's as hot as the Sahara in February and heat exhaustion and heat stroke is a serious issue in that state. Also, it's not extraordinary for healthy children and healthy adults with no medical conditions to drop dead of no apparent causes.

I remember back when I was in HS that we lost 10-12 classmates and several parents, all of whom were healthy and suddenly died. Later, it was determined that the "Climate Catastrophe," Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia and White Supremacy had been contributing factors to their deaths.

Filed under CV-19/Sudden deaths. Sigh. Vaxx status never stated. Should be a check box for that. Yes or No would be more info than we get.

Not what I would call hot, but it was unusually warm in NJ on Feb 10th.

One of these days the right little boy will die from this crap, the right foriegn Princess or crackhead son of a President. Until then we will set back and watch the numbers rise on a genocide that was pushed down our own throats by bad men seeking to make great gain.

63°? You’re trying to blame his death on it being chilly?

No. Do you have a problem with reading comprehension?

You must be a dermatologist.

Like I give a crap about your tagline, I rarely read the. Because the repeat. The link you posted said that the temperature was 63°. The very fact that you posted that link for that benign temperature means you’re an idiot.

Meanwhile, get a load of this...

This scary syndrome causes almost half of its patients to die

Note that this "new syndrome" was identified in 2020, the age range and numbers of the afflicted, and that the range of issues can also be caused by CoupFlu vaxxes...

And pay special attention to the bit about mortality...

...This scary syndrome causes almost half of its patients to die...

If this is more Deep State damage control...

The die-off from the vaxxes will be continuing for a while.

Go back and read what I posted "Not what I would call hot, but it was unusually warm in NJ on Feb 10th."

I wasn't blaming the unusually warm temp for mid Feb for his death but just pointed out it was unusually warm for mid Feb and not freezing cold as others suggested.

You must have read my screen name and assumed I was an MD without reading my tag line that explains I am not.

So, who is the idiot in this conversation?
