Teen Was Singing Solo When He Collapsed, Died at Naperville Choir Event, Family Says
NBC Chicago ^ | October 18, 2022

Posted on 10/20/2022 12:41:40 PM PDT by nickcarraway

"They told us that while he was doing his solo, he just passed out," said his mother Karolin Moshi. "He collapsed"

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is three weeks away from the culmination of his effort to be reelected to a second term in office, and he had plenty to say on a wide variety of topics as he prepares for the Nov. 8 election against Republican challenger Darren Bailey.

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Moshi was doing the thing he loved most when he unexpectedly died onstage during a tragic incident at a suburban choir event, his family said.

"They told us that while he was doing his solo, he just passed out," said his mother Karolin Moshi. "He collapsed and we don't know anything else."

Moshi, of Franklin Park, was a senior at Leyden High School in District 212. He had plans to attend college next year and dreamed of ending up on Broadway someday.

A photo of Daniel Moshi singing at an unrelated event Karolin Moshi said she had dropped her son off at school Friday, knowing he would be heading to the show choir event that evening. At the time, she said everything seemed normal.

"Actually, I stopped by Starbucks right over here, where he grabbed his macchiato drink and his sandwich. I dropped him off. And he was waiting for his teacher to come, you know, come up and pick him up with his other students that were attending this choir show," she said.

When he arrived at the suburban school for the event, he texted his mother.

‘Unbelievable Surge': Chicago-Area Doctors Report Rise in RSV, Respiratory Cases in Kids "He texted me, 'Mom, I'm here' at around five o'clock approximately," she said. "I texted him, 'I said everything good?' I have his text. He said, 'Yep, all good mom.'"

Less than two hours later, the family quickly learned everything was not "all good."

"I got the call from his teacher, musical teacher. And she said there's an incident," his father Loden Moshi told NBC Chicago. "That he was singing his solo rehearsal and he collapsed. And now they've given him CPR and taken him to one hospital."

Moshi was performing at the All State Honors Show Choir for the Illinois American Choral Directors Association Friday at Naperville North High School when he became unconscious.

Naperville fire officials confirmed they responded to the high school around 6:18 p.m. for an "unconscious" 17-year-old boy. When fire officials arrived, bystanders were performing CPR on the teen, who was taken to Edwards Medical Center, where he died.

"IL-ACDA is saddened by the loss of this beautiful person who loved to sing," President of IL-ACDA Laura Coster wrote on Facebook following the tragic incident. "Our condolences to his family, the students, the directors, and to... students in the Leyden district."

The DuPage County coroner's office said it was investigating the death, but a cause of death has not been released.

"We came home Saturday morning, I received a call from the DuPage coroner's office and she said, 'Miss Moshi, I'm reaching out to you to let you know that there was nothing wrong with your son. His organs were all healthy, his heart - absolutely nothing wrong with him,'" Karolin Moshi said.

Leyden High School said it is grieving the loss of one of its own and offered support for students struggling with the news.

"This loss impacts our entire Leyden community," a spokesperson for the school told NBC Chicago in a statement Monday. "Our students and staff are grieving and our focus is on their well being. We encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out to a trusted adult and our Student Services department is available to provide support. We are also asking everyone to look after each other during this difficult time."

Moshi's family, who wore blue during their interview with NBC Chicago because it was his favorite color, said they are leaning into their faith to cope with the loss of their son and the lack of answers surrounding his death.

"It's hard. It's not easy," Karolin Moshi said. "You can see my eyes. I've been crying. I can't sleep. I haven't slept since Friday. But it's... I don't know how to explain it... we believe what we believe in. The Lord is keeping us going. It's not easy. We were supposed to buy him a car. We're actually doing his funeral. It's not easy. It's not easy for any parent to go through this because we still don't have answers."

The family remembered Moshi as "honest, so pure, lovable."

"He was amazing," his younger sister Danya Moshi said. "And I feel like people should know that more...If people have siblings, you need to have fun with them. Because if one of them goes away, you feel alone."

“It was the other soloist that was expected to die?”

Maybe he was supposed to die during the actual performance and not the rehearsal.

There’s plenty of heart attacks in there. I’m not going to pick and choose line items of an excerpt.

So quit frogjerking.

When are the “vaccine-harm deniers” going to admit what is staring us right in the face? These shots are harming, and in many cases killing, quite a number of young men.

Why not keep your post relevant to your implied assertion because it may help your case rather than weaken it?

Remember the good old days when teens collapsing was a super rare event and a tragedy as opposed to the matter of course it is today for no apparent reason with no possible correlation with anything at all?

I can’t reach a conclusion on sudden deaths of young people without statistical data. What’s the incidence of such sudden deaths in past years?

So sad. Prayers that he might have a blessed rest, and that God might grant peace, comfort and strength to his family.

“Especially now that the vax is being forced on kids.”

Only if parents let them.

The “clot shot” is required to attend many colleges.

CDC just voted unanimously to require it for all school kids to attend school.

The girl missing at Princeton was found dead. Another healthy young person dead by “vaccine.”

The Branch Covidians are intent on requiring the vaccine and the politicians paid off by big pharma (which is most of them) are going along with jt.

After looking at your list and investigating the deaths in more depth this list cannot be used as some sort of evidence that SADS is some sort of common occurrence.

A few were killed by a tsunami caused by a volcano, someone fell off a stage, another was bitten by a cobra, heart attacks caused by advanced cardiovascular disease, etc...

Also, it seems the ages of these people are way older than the teenager in the story. For example you listed the following which doesn't fit the circumstance of the article:

Nepali actor Bishnu Bhakta Phuyal died while acting on stage. He fainted during a performance at the theater in Kathmandu. - he was 79 yrs old and died of a brain hemorage.

Guitarist and jam band performer Colonel Bruce Hampton collapsed and died of a heart attack during a jam at an all-star concert held in honor of his 70th birthday

French barefoot singer Barbara Weldens collapsed while performing in a church in Gourdon, France, apparently from electrocution from a faulty cable on the floor.

17 September: Laudir de Oliveira, Brazilian percussionist and former member of the band Chicago, died of a heart attack during a performance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. - He was 77 years old

Kathakali dancer Madavoor Vasudevan Nair slumped on stage and died during a performance. He was 89 years old

Original Boston drummer Sib Hashian died after collapsing during a performance on the Legends of Rock cruise. He was 67 years old and was diagnosed with Kidney cancer as well.

Comedian Ian Cognito died of a heart attack during a show in Bicester. Reports indicate that he had been taking medication for a heart condition, and passed away from a heart attack. Was also a hard drinker as reported by the UK Sun. He was 60 yrs old

Juliano Cezar, Brazilian sertanejo singer, died of a heart attack during a concert in Uniflor, Paraná. He was 59 years old

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Principal Bass Emeritus Jane Little collapsed and died on stage during the last 30 seconds of the orchestra's final encore of "There's No Business Like Show Business". She'd been undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma and she was 89 years old

The more and more I go thru your list I don't even have to look hard to find out that it is quite a small minority (maybe none at all) of the people you list are even comparable at all to the 17 yr old that died suddenly. Did you take a look at the info that you posted at all?

are they the ages of the persons at the end of your excerpts?
if so, they are not young.

the sudden, unexplained deaths being reported of late are mostly under 50 years of age, well under 50 in most cases.

"Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is extremely rare in teenagers and adolescents. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that about 1,500 people under age 25 die of cardiac arrest each year in the United States. Prevalence positively correlates with age (the younger you are, the more rare it is). The American Academy of Pediatrics cites various congenital heart defects as the cause in most of these cases. Myocarditis (heart inflammation) is the primary unnatural cause of SCA in children."

3 more teens suddenly collapse and die of cardiac arrest- The Covid Blog

The CDC quote above is from a site that appears to be a site that thinks the vaccine is causing deaths.

But that's the problem with anecdotal evidence. You have to get past the 1500 teen deaths a year that the CDC says is normal.

Anecdotal stories don't establish a scientific case. Show me stats. Half the time the anecdotal stories don't know the cause of death, whether the person was vaccinated, whether they previously had covid, or even if they had covid at the time of death.

They are just a scare tactic with zero scientific evidence backing them. Okay maybe not zero because we know the vaccines can cause myocardis and blood clots. But so can Covid-19.

Before I'll be concerned about these deaths, I need to see stats from a trustworthy source that show
