Former University of Central Florida (UCF) football player and Massachusetts native Jake Hescock died suddenly on Tuesday, according to his family.

Hescock, 25, collapsed while jogging in Boston last week, his cousin Lisa Walz Mlynarczyk wrote on a Facebook group dedicated to him.

According to reports, Hescock suffered from cardiac arrest.

“He was given CPR and has been on life support ever since. We were told last night that the damage to his brain from the lack of oxygen is severe,” she wrote.

A passerby found him and provided CPR, and was taken to the hospital.

“A Good Samaritan found him and gave him CPR. He suffered cardiac arrest. He is intubated in ICU. The next 48 to 72 hours are critical [because] they don’t know how long he was not breathing until he was found.”

On Friday, Jake’s mother, Carey Hescock, provided an update on his son.

“Jake currently remains in critical condition,” said Carey. “He remains on a ventilator that is currently breathing for him. He is on a machine that is taking the blood out of his body, oxygenating it and giving it back today. We are hoping for that to be able to be turned off today or tomorrow.”

“His heart function is having small improvements but continues to be much lower than it should be. Our main focus at the moment is at his neurological status. He is sedated, so they are keeping him asleep to allow his body to heel. When the sedation is off we are hoping to see improvements, so far they are minimal but encouraging,” she continued.

On Sunday, Jake’s cousin Lisa provided another update and announced that Jake had passed away.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have to say my cousin Jake has passed on, may he Rest in Peace and forever shine his bright soul down upon us, I’m sure Papa was there waiting for you with open arms….. forever you will be, Lil Jakers! Thank you everyone for your prayers during this difficult time,” she wrote.

UCF Football released a statement stating Jake will be missed by the Knight Nation.

“We are devastated to hear of the passing of Jake Hescock. He was beloved by everyone within Knight Nation. Our deepest condolences go out to everyone who knew Jake. He was taken too soon and will be greatly missed.”

Coach Gus Malzahn honored Hescock on Twitter, saying, “we’re heartbroken to hear of Jake’s passing. He was an incredible person, who embodied what it means to be a UCF Knight. Everyone who knew Jake loved him and he was a blessing to coach.He will be greatly missed. Kristi and I’s prayers are with his whole family.”

Following the tragic news of his passing, Jake has been remembered by hundreds of supporters, friends, and family members.

There is little or nothing to be done that can save them.

I think this is true, sadly.
What is done, is done.

The weakening of the heart walls from the inflammation does not repair itself after the inflammation goes down.

If I took the mRNA vax, and I planned on doing some heavy athletic activity, particularly anything cardio intensive, I would recommend getting an MRI

I think we are at a point with the science where ONLY those most vulnerable to a severe Covid illness should be taking the vaccines. The risk-reward math for everyone else says the risk is either unnecessary or greater than the possible reward. Protect the vulnerable but let the healthy build up the level of natural immunity.

It was okay to ask if you were vaxxed to go to a concert or visit your aging parents but not when you die suddenly


Aint that the truth. I have an acquaintance who owns a business. Mandated that all employees take the vaxx. Brother (co-owner) in his 50’s healthy as a horse, gets blood clots in his legs that go to his lungs. Ok now but then not so much. I asked if he had been vaxxed.

That’s a yes or no answer, right? Or maybe “none of your business”. But oh no! I get personally attacked, As in “you’re an idiot”. “You don’t care about my brother”. “Spreading disinformation”. “Going to get someone killed”. “You’re ignorant don’t be spreading that lie”.

All that over “was he vaccinated”.

Once you are over 60…or even 50….you are a “ throwaway” statistic because it is assumed the death could be “ natural”

The insurance companies see what is happening

Results of the 2020 census will be interesting. Oh wait, they’re importing people from the South to make up for the numbers.

Might not be enough with all the big universities for requiring students to be fully vaXXXed right up through the new bivalent.

and the madness continues - https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/kids-6-months-to-4-yrs-now-eligible-for-bivalent-covid-booster/ar-AA1565P5

Injecting babies. Some real evil has taken hold in the world.

Sure it is

The actuary trade journals have been leaking this stuff for months. The proprietary studies from the insurance companies are said to be horrifying in their conclusions.

These are really smart analysts who get paid enormous incomes to guide the insurance company policies worth trillions of dollars. The insurance companies can buy and sell politicians (or at least rent them). The companies are not going to take the prospective losses that have been forecast. They are going to change the rules, using their political influence.

A tsunami is gathering offshore. What the people on the beach feel about that does not really matter.

You guys can’t even wait three minutes to blame the vaccines. No autopsy. You just know it was the vaccines. How about some evidence next time?
