PINSON, Alabama (LifeSiteNews) — The number three high school basketball player in the state of Alabama died last Thursday morning after collapsing during a pickup game with his teammates.

Caleb White, 17, was an all-state point guard for Pinson Valley High School. He was one of three finalists for the Class 6A player of the year award as a junior last season.

White’s grandfather posted on Facebook that he went into “cardiac arrest” and that “attempts to resuscitate him” failed. An autopsy was scheduled for last Friday, but results have not yet been made public.

White’s untimely passing is the latest in a string of star athletes either dying from or suffering some type of heart-related incident.

Bronny James, the son of liberal NBA star LeBron James, went into cardiac arrest while practicing with the University of Southern California men’s team just last month.

James survived but many on social media wondered if his illness was due to the COVID-19 vaccine, as his father LeBron had announced he himself received the shot several years ago.

NFL player Damar Hamlin notably suffered cardiac arrest while on the field during a game in January against the Cincinnati Bengals. Medical experts like Dr. Peter McCullough theorized that it was possibly due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, brought on by the COVID shot.

CPR and a defibrillator were used on White Thursday while he was still at the school, according to AL.com. Paramedics rushed him via ambulance to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead…

Sadly, this has become accepted as “totally normal”...Just like people accepting $4 per gallon gas they’re accepting young kids with heart attacks.

Not sure how it works everywhere else, but I found this for MA:

“ For example, in Massachusetts, autopsy reports are medical records. Under section 32 chapter 2, the state’s chief medical examiner may only share autopsy reports with the following parties: Law enforcement agents/ investigatory bodies. Spouses and next of kin.”

If the death was not criminal, you need to get the information from the family. Pretty sure they are probably not in the proper headspace to feed the internets” desire to know.

The Free Republic Assumed COVID-19 Vaccine Death Obituary Ping




You are being pinged because this death notice was important enough to have its own thread, so you have to admit, it’s important!




Grim Reaper Approved!

There must be statistical data with which we could compare death rates by age groups from say, 2015 to 2017 and 2021 to 2023.

Or is that information ‘classified’ now?

I played thousands and thousands of hours of basketball games.
Zero dead, not even an older male heart attack.
Thousands and thousands of gym hours, and only one 65+ heart attack.(obese)
Know and trained with some PJs, no heart attacks.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was likely common to many of those I trained with, including myself. It’s not proof, but it’s hinky…

I wonder if they even had a point to which they would not go to accomplish that goal?

How many innocent lives can we expend to forward our globalist, communist goal?

They are still at it trying to keep him from even running in 2024.

Their stated goal is to eliminate up to 95% of the world's human population.

What percentage of that 95% do you suppose is innocent?

Schools are going to have to start making players sign covenants not to play pick-up games.

If the players are going to drop dead on the court, at least make sure it’s during league play.

Pete Maravich dropped dead during a pick-up game.

The autopsy revealed he was born without a left coronary artery.
