Thank you
Original story was that he had a stroke at the station.
Then, that he was hit with a fire extinguisher.
Union rep talked about a medical incident with no mention of injury.
Sorry for his loss.
I don’t know exactly what happened, I wasn’t there. We communicated mostly through facebook. I live in Jersey and he moved to VA/DC in 2008.
I think it was the other way around, he was hit with fire extinguisher and then had a stroke. If he was hit in the head, it could have been a brain injury and yes it can take a little time before that affects you and cause a stroke. I am not saying that is 100% what happened, I don’t know. But from medical stand point, just from internet research, it can happen.
It happens in football with brain injuries. You can read articles about high school kid gets hit hard, feels fine then an hour or two later drops dead. It is serious
So was Ashli...
I was speculating that he could have been hit, wasn't too worried about it and didn't seek medical attention.
Went back to the station and a clot from the injury travelled to his heart.
Damn shame!
