Anyone can die at any age. I had a best friend that died at age 13 from a cerebral hemorrhage. He passed out at school and died a few days later. No one outside of skid-row junkies even knew what drugs were back in the 50s.
Of course, that's true. I didn't say otherwise.
Children dying in sports IS very rare. I am sorry for your best friend. What a terrible loss for you at such a young age. It must have hurt you VERY much.
If children dying in sports clubs were a common occurrence there wouldn't be any sports clubs for children. Countries ALL OVER THE WORLD have sports clubs for children. It's a win-win for everyone in the country.
For a 13-year-old to have a cerebral hemorrhage is MOST rare. My sister died of a brain aneurysm when she was 37. She fainted at work and was dead four hours later.
As for drugs, you must read some of the Victorian books and/or Sherlock Holmes. Drugs were fully used back then. Laudanum was even part of the story in the Wyatt Earp movie not too long ago. It was a narcotic meant to ease pain. It worked.
Humans have been "using" for as long as there have been humans. But, you know that, doncha?
Thank you for that. Yes, anyone can die at anytime -- even with a universal health care mandate.
