A RISING football star has died suddenly at the age of 16. Samara Whitney played for Australia's Wynyard Football Club in Tasmania.

She has been described as a "pocket rocket" on the field in emotional tributes. Samara, who was part of the AFL's Tasmania Devils program, died on Tuesday. Her cause of death has not been revealed.

Wynyard FC said: "[Samara was] a vibrant & loveable young lady who has made her mark at the WFC as a passionate and talented player, who had a big future ahead of her. “Our young gun, our pocket rocket, our number 2 … such a positive influence for all. Someone who had a great connection with both our club and the wider community. This will last forever.

You showing how stupid you are because in THAT case that cause of death was given. People were being funny about it being the vax because they knew it wasn’t, obviouly.

The only one who wasn’t getting the joke was you, because you seem to be a paid shill for the deep state.

This case is legitimately questioned because it’s ANOTHER mysterious death of a young healthy person with NO cause of death listed.

“Healthy 16 year old’s dying suddenly happens all the time, right?”

Happens more than you think. Sudden cardiac arrest is rare in young people, but it can happen. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 2,000 young, seemingly healthy people under age 25 in the United States die each year of sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is thought to be a leading cause of death in young athletes, but it also affects young people not involved in organized sports. It can happen during exercise or at rest, or even during sleep. In some cases, young people can die from sudden cardiac arrest days or weeks later from brain damage that happened during the SCA.

It’s a good article.

True, but I will say that in all of my years following sports, I have never seen or heard of so many deaths in highly functioning young athletes. The increase in deaths is concerning. Maybe communication is better, maybe more people are involved in competitive athleticism, maybe drug use in athletes is higher than in the past...but this is strange....something is happening...may not be explained by the same old reasons

I know of four or five instances of soccer players literally dropping dead on the field long before COVID.

Do you think it is being reported more?:Were most of the reports before reporting on non-athletic subjects? Or people with known cardiovascular disorder?

OK...was that over a 2 year period of time in the past...or your collective memory over a longer period of time? I am not impugning your report, but when I was playing (or at least attempting to play) football...if someone died somewhere who was a football athlete, everyone knew about it. There were very few deaths reported...everyone who went thru two a day practices (hell week) or through the well known preseason brutal practices of Bear Bryant would have seen lots of death...if it was so common...so in my mind,,, something needs to be looked into...with no prejudice..

Give it up. Why are you acting like a communist? If I don’t lock step in your beliefs, I’m not worthy? Ridiculous and dumb.

Well every death is a vax related death on here. Isn’t that a little obsessive?
