Gunshot wound maybe... The only question... Self inflicted or assisted suicide?

They said he went to the hospital due to a serious illness, they don’t say that if it’s self-inflicted.

he was hospitalized with a “severe illness,...”

Nothing cryptic about that ???

Like... How many 'severe' illnesses are there out there?

As we all are... A ‘severe’ illness... Much worse than just a ‘regular’ illness.

Just awful
Two young kids, he was only 41

Maybe meningitis or sepsis?
You would think this guy would have the best doctors on call

stories are flying around. One said 2 weeks ago DURING a race, he radioed in that he “needed medical help”. All very odd...

As a long-time racing fan, going back to the beginnings of NASCAR, I more or less worship all the old-time drivers...

However, Rowdy became, for me, the closest to those old-timers in both talent, guts, and skills...
He was, IMHO, a throw-back to the days of “real” racing...

It could be that his dismal record of the past few years was due to the battle that he finally lost...

R.I.P. Rowdy

a number of them- had a freeing- healthy as a horse- just drop one day- meningitis- nearly died- barely made it through it- but was severely mentally affected from it-

Something could have caused sepsis- pneumonia, amoung others-

Not so strange. Maybe they think this is a private matter, which it is, and it's none of your F'n business.........

He won the truck race at Dover less than a week ago and died so quickly. Shocking news. RIP Kyle.
