sudden adult death syndrome?

Why do I automatically assume COVID 19 vaccine from these headlines? Well, guess I will read on

“passed away in New York from an unexpected illness”

Well that certainly is a clever way to put it.

So what the heck is an “expected illness”? What that guy with AIDS, COVID, and monkeypox got after a wild weekend in Spain?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Sounds better than “just up and died”.

[9YearLurker]

Kind of interesting in that suicide and drug overdose are not usually described in that way. For someone that age U guess that makes the jab more likely.

[BenLurkin]

It’s about as little information as could possibly be packed into a single sentence.

[StAnDeliver]

Fentanyl probably.

They just released the autopsy today of the similarly-young woman who played Big Mama Thornton in "Elvis" who passed suddenly in July, and said heart disease.

Riiiight.

Nobody expects the unexpected illness.

I heard today that there are mass casualties of children in Europe, they are dying from heart damage and it is being hidden, at all cost.

[OKSooner]

Tragic, a quite attractive young lady.

Forgive my bad manners for prying, but what was it? Cancer? Heart trouble? Pneumonia? Horrible bacterial infection? Food poisoning?

No?

Well, one wouldn’t wish to be even more morbid than one has been already.

RIP

Careful....the FR $$s most likely will ding you, for that.

[Jane Long]

RIP....too young to pass away unexpectly™

[Aria]

Beautiful! A Jackie Kennedy type face.

[Yo-Yo]

Nobody expects the unexpected illness.

[Rusty0604]

Whatever the reason, RIP.

Usually drugs or suicide. If it’s a disease, they’ll just identify it. Drugs and suicide are still a little embarrassing. When that changes, Sodom/Gomorrah will have become the norm rather than the exception.

Dying unexpectedly is the way I want to go. The heck with sitting around stressing and worrying about it. If you’re expecting it stay home and don’t cross the street.
