Homecoming Queen Candidate (17) Dies After Collapsing on Field at Game
New York Post ^ | Oct. 2, 2023 | Yaron Steinbuch

The 17-year-old daughter of an Ohio high school athletic director collapsed on the football field and died during pregame festivities — where she was introduced as a Homecoming Queen candidate.

Breanne McKean, a senior at Mapleton High School in Ashland, died Friday of an undisclosed “medical emergency,” Mapleton Local Schools announced Saturday.

The school’s athletic director, Tim McKean, told News 5 Cleveland that his daughter died at Ashland Hospital after collapsing on the field, where the Mounties were set to play South Central. Breanne touched many lives and “was everything to us,” her grieving dad told the outlet, adding that she lettered in several sports, including volleyball, basketball and softball.

It’s certainly not normal for one like her to die, but a few pounds?
She’s easily 80 lbs overweight.
Just because most are disgusting nowadays, it doesn’t change healthy.

Played volleyball, basketball, and softball. High school sports do require physicals for participation. Wonder if she was diabetic?

Not at 17. Besides she looks overweight but not obese.

her girth suggests food stamps should be confined to rice and beans.

Population doubles but youngsters dropping dead goes up a magnitude. Not buying it.

The numbers are too great. These things have always made the news. Even allowing for click bait you used to see these,stories a few times a year. Now it’s every week.

There are a lot of medical questions based on that picture. But I am sure many here know better.

Like what?

There is nothing healthy about that picture

Nothing healthy? Healthy skin, healthy hair, healthy eyes, healthy teeth...You are a quack.

She passed a sports physical.

That is a scary thought.

Especially when practitioners know what to look for.

This has happened to too many of my friends’ kids the last couple of years.

She’s no doubt a good 50 pounds overweight, maybe a bit more. I don’t think anyone is denying that it’s not healthy, but people who are equivalently overweight and older would be strewn in the streets if it, on its own, caused death.

Actually, I do believe that our oh-so-brilliant culture is now celebrating this - and to say otherwise is fat-shaming. I think I know why Dove jumped on this bandwagon.....there’s a whole lot more surface to be soaped up!

Which population doubles? Population in the US is barely growing except for illegal immigration

Yes, easily. If you like fat chicks, fine.
She’s morbidly obese.
I don’t think it had anything to do with her dying.

That’s my biggest issue, normalization.
Look at high school pics from the 1940’s.
She would be an absolute outlier.
I don’t know the exact causes, but something is definitely wrong.

I dare say it’s mostly because of the lack of home-cooked meals. I was born early 50’s and there were very few fast food restaurants around. The grocery stores had very few prepared foods (Swanson tv dinners lol). Now look at it - take-out food, restaurants everywhere, fast food joints, and the areas in grocery stores for prepared foods far exceeds the fresh foods.

We went out for fast food once a year. A&W. They roller skated up to your car and put the tray on your window lol. We sure gave up a lot when we took the moms out of the house and put them into the rat race. They called it equality. Many I know called it a rip-off, but the government certainly hauled in more taxes!

Participating in the Obama-Gates Population Reduction program is likely.
