My guess is steroids.
A student at App State who was a distance runner died from neurological damage after contracting Covid.
> He underwent another procedure for his heart Thursday but died shortly after the operation.
What was wrong with his heart?
Sounds like it damaged his heart. That can happen with COVID.
Being overweight isn’t being “fit and healthy”
It’s pretty much the opposite.
His picture is at the site and his mom said he was overweight but fit and healthy.
Still A horrible thing and I feel very bad for the family.
That it’s news shows how rare the virus takes someone that age.
Poor kid.
So exceedingly rare that we know the poor fellow’s name.
RIP.
Cam was overweight but he was fit and otherwise healthy,” his mother said

Well there you go. Mom has spoken.
19 year pro wrestler?
Tragic - but, very rare in the USA.
According to CDC data, the fatality rate for persons under age twenty is 3 per 100,000.
After seeing his pictures, I have to ask...who’s definition of “fit and healthy” are they using?
Obesity creates changes in the structure and function of the heart. It increases your risk of heart disease. The more you weigh, the more blood you have flowing through your body. The heart has to work harder to pump the extra blood.
If there is already a strain on the heart, even small, any further stress can cause heart failure which has been attributed to about 40% of legitimate covid deaths. And I would have to point out that he was active to the point of muscle failure with the activity he had selected, wrestling. That sport is very cardio challenged and the added weight, tagged on to a flu could pull the trigger and cause a heart event. But that wouldn’t have created the need for a planned surgery. Something else was involved.
And for the some of you that might wonder why I used the words muscle failure that don’t know, the heart is a muscle.

Prayers for the family.
Happens!
Years before covid, a teenager dropped dead on a football field.
He had a rare heart defect. That medical condition was a ticking timebomb.
This kid was more haystack calhoun or sumo wrestler.
Running around the squared circle and consuming a dozen draft beer is not the best plan for a long life
but no matter the hysteria, the chance of death from covid alone is practically nil for young people....
we should have let this thing run its course from the get go...
I still say that the same people who would have died this year from "covid" or with it are the same group that probably would have died from other ailments....
and the total death rate for 2020 will not be that much different than the average death rate....
Many young men, even teens, who appeared fit and healthy died from underlying heart issues. More OH MY GOD YOU’RE GONNA DIE IF YOU DON”T SUBMIT AND COMPLY!!
Hank gathers died of covid
Are they reporting that the test is the reason for his death?
The steroids injected etc. reduce the immune system capacity to fight off infection. Re-purposing the hormones that are in the immunologic pathways internally, to take the proteins and put them into skeletal muscle growth. Steroids being literally immunosuppressive and why they are illegal. Little gonads big muscles... and piss poor immunity at an early age.
Covid virus— dead. Interesting post.
Most likely died WITH covid, not from it.
Trump is 74 & fat.
I am 80 and was on a jam packed Carnival cruise this year.
Both of us are doing well
There have been many stories in the past of healthy athletes just dropping dead from heart attacks, so this story is sensationalist bullcrap. The truth is that most humans do not know they have any underlying condition until it happens.
