25-Year-Old Former Football Player Jake Hescock Dies Suddenly of Cardiac Arrest While Jogging

Former University of Central Florida (UCF) football player and Massachusetts native Jake Hescock died suddenly on Tuesday, according to his family.

Hescock, 25, collapsed while jogging in Boston last week, his cousin Lisa Walz Mlynarczyk wrote on a Facebook group dedicated to him.

According to reports, Hescock suffered from cardiac arrest.

“He was given CPR and has been on life support ever since. We were told last night that the damage to his brain from the lack of oxygen is severe,” she wrote.

A passerby found him and provided CPR, and was taken to the hospital.

“A Good Samaritan found him and gave him CPR. He suffered cardiac arrest. He is intubated in ICU. The next 48 to 72 hours are critical [because] they don’t know how long he was not breathing until he was found.”

On Friday, Jake’s mother, Carey Hescock, provided an update on his son.

“Jake currently remains in critical condition,” said Carey. “He remains on a ventilator that is currently breathing for him. He is on a machine that is taking the blood out of his body, oxygenating it and giving it back today. We are hoping for that to be able to be turned off today or tomorrow.”

“His heart function is having small improvements but continues to be much lower than it should be. Our main focus at the moment is at his neurological status. He is sedated, so they are keeping him asleep to allow his body to heel. When the sedation is off we are hoping to see improvements, so far they are minimal but encouraging,” she continued.

On Sunday, Jake’s cousin Lisa provided another update and announced that Jake had passed away.

“It is with a heavy heart that I have to say my cousin Jake has passed on, may he Rest in Peace and forever shine his bright soul down upon us, I’m sure Papa was there waiting for you with open arms….. forever you will be, Lil Jakers! Thank you everyone for your prayers during this difficult time,” she wrote.

UCF Football released a statement stating Jake will be missed by the Knight Nation.

“We are devastated to hear of the passing of Jake Hescock. He was beloved by everyone within Knight Nation. Our deepest condolences go out to everyone who knew Jake. He was taken too soon and will be greatly missed.”

Coach Gus Malzahn honored Hescock on Twitter, saying, “we’re heartbroken to hear of Jake’s passing. He was an incredible person, who embodied what it means to be a UCF Knight. Everyone who knew Jake loved him and he was a blessing to coach.He will be greatly missed. Kristi and I’s prayers are with his whole family.”

Following the tragic news of his passing, Jake has been remembered by hundreds of supporters, friends, and family members.

Elon Musk tweets that his pronouns are ‘Prosecute/Fauci’!!!!

Twitter owner Elon Musk throws shade toward outgoing NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci

As he prepares to step down from five decades in public health, Fauci is facing further investigations by Republican leadership over the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)’s connection to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic in funding over a decade of gain-of-function research.

Fauci recently detailed in a new interview with CNN set to air Sunday that he created an “enmity” with former President Donald Trump. The outgoing NIAID director said he could not be “complicit” in Trump spreading misinformation about the coronavirus – pointing to the former president’s comments on hydroxychloroquine and bleach. Fauci frequently butted heads with Republicans over mask and vaccine mandates.

Reggie Lewis died because he snorted TOO much COCAINE.

“Doctors who examined the late Boston Celtics player Reggie Lewis say they believed his heart quite likely was damaged by cocaine before the former Dunbar High basketball star collapsed and died of heart failure near Boston in 1993.”

He died because his heart gave out.

“It’s rare, but sudden death does happen in athletes.”

Uh, no....Derrick Thomas did not just collapse and die suddenly. He died about a month after being paralyzed in a car crash on an icy road at the age of 33. The blood clot resulted from the injury for which he was hospitalized.

This is a long one but worth the time. This is a post by
COURAGE IS THE BEST VIRTUE
I offered a prayer Coach Leach.
I will keep Coach Leach in my prayers.
I humbly re-post the following, as I believe each time Any American who has been injected ‘suddenly’ has a serious medical event, the questioned presented here should be posed by Every American.
This is no longer a “conspiracy”!
Ask yourself “How Come”
– The Rockefellar Foundation Ran Project “Lock Step” about a pandemic in 2010 calling for Top Down Control
– DARPA funded Fauci NIH to research gain of function
– The USthe Funded the building of over 20 Bio labs in Ukraine occurred after us interference in Ukraine in 2014 led to pro western govt.
– University of NC at Chapel Beric was involved with gain of function with the NIH
– Obama Administration ordered ALL NIH gain of function offshored in 2014
– Fauci used Daszak’s Eco Health Alliance to continue to fund gain of fuction at the Wuhan Lab in 2015
– Jeff Bright presented prior to 2020 that since the public do not take flu serious or value “vaccines” that perhaps a “novel flu from China” might change their view
– In January 2017 prior to President Trump’s innugaration Fauci at a Georgetown presentation stated Presudent Trump WILL face a pandemic before the end if his first term
– John Hopkins ran the “Spars Pandemic Event” in November 2017
– Event 201 ran a pandemic event in rge Fall of 2019
– The CDC, NIH and Moderna were negotiating an agreement for sharing rights to a COVID 19 vaccine in November 2019
– The pandemic models chosen that were the basis for the lock downs were the Imperial College in London and The U of Washingtin IHME Both Funded By The Gates Foundation
– During Holy Week 2020 the CDC changed the definition of a COVID Death from “dying from COVID” to “dying WITH COVID”
– Fauci lied about and fought Against Hydroxychloroquine
– Fauci pushed Remdesivir knowing it shuts down kidney function leading to respiratory failure
– The CDC, FDA nor Fauci identify that 75% of ALL COVID ICU and Deaths had Vitamin D levels below 30
– According to the DOD Inspector General Report as disclosed by Project Veritas, members of the DOD Knew in May 2020 that Ivermectin STOPPED COVID but kept this secret
– For the First Time in History Government Locked Down the Healthy and Did Not Protect elderly, sick or those with pre existing conditions
– The Senate was provided in December 2020 with over 20 peer reviewed studies of Ivermectin’s effectiveness as a Prophylactic and Therapeutic by Dr. Kory and Did Nothing
– 100-200 Members of Congress During 2021 secretly took Ivermectin to Stop COVID but Americans Are Denied Ivermectin
– Uttar Pradesh, Indonesia and Japan Used Ivermectin, combined populations of 600 Million, to Stop COVID in less than 2 Months but the CDC and FDA Stops Americans from getting Ivermectin
– The CDC has over 50 vaccine patents
– The FDA get Over 50% of its funds from Big Pharma
– The CDC and FDA Refuse to Acknowledge over 80 peer reviewd studies including from Cleveland Clinic, Harvard, Israel and Columbia U, that Natural Immunity is as Effective if Not Better than ALL the vaccines
– Pfizer and Moderna choose a PEG lipo nano particle that was developed to pierce the blood brain barrier as the delivery mechanism for a ‘vaccine’ that is supppsed to Stay At The Injection site
– Doctors are finding the spike protein in the liver, kidneys, bone marrow and other organs of the vaccinated
– There has Never been a successful SARS COVID vaccine
– These mRNA injections are reverse transcribing DNA
– The FDA in August 2021changed the definition of a vaccine as anything “that stimulates an immune response” from the previous definition that a vaccine MUST “imunize the recipient from the virus” And “limit the transmission of the virus”
– the CDC and Fauci admit those who are vaccinated can spread the virus as easily as the unvaccinated
–the CDC, Fauci and WH will not address the Lancet published study of 167 countries that the countries with the highest rates of fully vaccinated populations, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Germany, Gibraltar, The UK, The US and Denmark have the highest rates of COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths while the countries with low rates, India, Indonesia and South Africa have the lowest.
– if the vaccine doesn’t harm or weaken the immune system, recipients need boosters while unvaccinated do not
– the FDA has filed Court documents to prevent the FOIA request disclosure of the Pfizer study that was the basis for the FDA authorization of the Pfizer mRNA
– the FDA “approved” Pfizer “vaccine” Comirnaty for which Pfizer can be held liable but Comirnaty IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE US
– the NHL was fully “vaccinated” yet had to stop its season because so many fully “vaccinated” players Got COVID they could Not put enough teams on the ice
– Columbia University researchers have found that the true number of people in the USA and other territories who have died as a result of getting one of the experimental Covid-19 injections is significantly higher than the official figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
– While The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) run by The CDC claims that just over 30,000 people have died following Covid-19 vaccination, Columbia University’s analysis indicates that the VAERS has an underreporting factor estimate that is 20 times that number, or around 600,000 deaths, as being far more accurate.
– Why was there a 40 Percent Increase in EXCESS Overall Morta in the U.S. in Q3 and Q4 of 2021 just after the biden illegal ‘vaccine’ mandates
– Why did the FDA and Pfizer unsuccessfully fight to Hide Pfizer’s clinical studies from Americans
– the surgeon general of Florida announced new guidelines about the vaccine that show the jab causes a stunning 84% increase in cardiac-related death among 18-39-year-old men.
– The state of Florida now officially recommends that young males refrain from receiving the mRNA vaccine completely.
– Why did The Netherlands Stop the mRNA experimental injections for Everyone under 50
YET THE CDC, FDA AND MEDIA ARE SILENT!
May Our Lord Protect ALL who were coherced, forced or took these injections under the fraud perpetrared by the CDC, FDA, Moderna and Pfizer.
God Bless my Fellow American Patriots who did the research, held strong against this evil and Never Gave Up
Godspeed Coach Leech
I will pray for your Full and Speedy Recovery

There needs to be data that the public can view.

Otherwise it turns into secret squirrel and “a friend of a friend” saw the data, etc. That does no one any good.

Excess deaths continue to skyrocket in first half of 2022

All cause deaths is an unbiased data set. Steady state actuarial death rates typically vary 1 to 2 percent year to year. After the rollout of the vaccines, there was a 40% increase in all cause deaths.

Looking under the covers of the all cause deaths, it turns out the first spike was due to government forcing the most vulnerable elderly populations into nursing homes where they became infected and died rapidly.

The next waves of death hit the vulnerable hardest. Elderly, sick and minorities. Why? Because the government pushed vaccination of these groups FIRST over "privileged" people. It was vaccine "equity" that put needles in the arms of these groups first and initiated huge death spike. Most of the vaxx death occurs in the first 5 days. Anaphylactic reactions occur within minutes of injection. In some instances there is a delay of up to 3 days.

All-cause mortality during COVID-19: No plague and a likely signature of mass homicide by government response

Denis Rancourt did a long video interview on the topic. One of his papers is cited above.

See what went wrong was they took the passerby to the hospital. Valuable minutes were lost.

When did they stop teaching journalists sentence construction? Also spelling?

“There is little or nothing to be done that can save them.’

Dr Peter McCullough did mention on one of his videos that the enzyme supplement Serrapeptase might be helpful in degrading some of the errant spike proteins, though there’s no clinical evidence yet for that.

All cause deaths is an unbiased data set.

And here is that data set.

It shows waves of excess deaths correlated with Covid infection waves, but nothing correlated with vaccinations.

Let me know if you see anything supporting the idea of the vaccines killing people.

Unless the article specifically calls out his “vax” status, you can safely assume he got the shots. If these people who are just randomly dropping dead for no specific reason were unvaxed, they WOULD mention it.

The obvious culprit is “cardio exercise.” The heart doesn’t need to work any harder. It always is the hardest working and most reliable muscle of the human body. It is the other skeletal muscles that frequently languish — and they play the most significant role in optimizing health, functioning, and continued well-being. There is even the legend of “John Henry,” who was a hard-working man who thought he could outwork a steam engine — and of course, his heart exploded with that effort.

Similarly, a lot of the “World’s Strongest Man” competitors suffer from and even died of the great exertions required by their event. Additionally, it is a well-recognized fact that many of the top competitors in the Mr. Olympia and other bodybuilding contests experience heart as well as all other kinds of vital organ failures — thinking that it is enough just to push their bodies and organs to their limits for the body to adapt to those demands — rather than attaining critical failures — as with most things in real life.

Brute force is not going to make one invulnerable — especially from self-inflicted abuses — whether from exercise or from illicit drugs, and in many cases, both. So these untimely ends are not entirely unexpected and unprecedented, but are well-proven, and despite that, many go into denial about these obvious realities.

I’ve long pointed out that the heart has little effect on enhancing the circulation in the body — because it is the CONSTANT and not the VARIABLE — and in every experiment and experience, it is the variable that accounts for any significant difference and not the constant which is immutable. That is to say, that the heart is what it is, and nothing will change that, but the action of the rest of the muscles in the body, is what greatly impacts the effectiveness of circulation — particularly to those axes (joints) actually moved.

Otherwise, the heart has no idea where to prioritize that flow of blood and nutrients — but more importantly, it is those contractions of the skeletal muscles — that account for the propulsion of the blood and other fluids (inflammation, edema, lymphedema, lipedema, etc) back towards the heart — while creating space for the new to enter by virtue of the always working heart.

But for grossly misinformed people to think that all one is trying to accomplish in exercise is to work the heart infinitely harder, is the reason they are more likely to cause the heart to fail completely, rather than achieve the much more intelligent objective of using the entire musculature of the body to optimize the flow — and not just require the heart to work infinitely harder as the prescription for a longer and healthy life.

That is particularly the problem of the dementias — that the heart and lungs continue to function for many years after the circulation to the brain, hands and feet have ceased to remain vital functioning parts. It is a seriously flawed understanding that does not bode well for prolonged lives in continued good health and functioning — and therefore, all is lost.

Didn't know the specifics of Derrick Thomas (thank you), but there is absolutely zero question that athletes die of sudden death due to undiagnosed cardiac disease (e.g. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated CM, arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia, etc). I have personally seen young patients with sudden death from underlying undiagnosed pro-arrhythmic cardiac conditions. It's rare, but happens.
