Yeah unless there is something beyond this writeup we aren’t being told about this seems just a run of the mil obit.l About 20 years ago I looked up how many people die each day in this world. It was around 150k on average. It’s probably higher now because of population increase.

My former HS principal died at age 46 in 1979 from a massive heart attack while sitting at his desk getting ready for the school day.

He was, from all outward appearances, everything known about him, physically fit and active and healthy, played and coached and refereed sports. And he was a wonderful man, an engaging teacher and a terrific principal, a tough disciplinarian and demanding of high academic standards but also fair and who wanted to know about his student’s concerns and problems (his teacher’s too).

I remember him standing in the hallways of Western HS during class changes, “directing traffic” and making sure we didn’t dawdle at our lockers and got to our next class on time and yet he seemed to know every student by name, even our nicknames. And he could be extremely funny at times.

“After battling addiction, Matt became a member of Alcoholics Anonymous”

Drug and alcohol abuse can do a real number on one’s heart.

My husband got sober in AA in 1990 and his first sponsor dropped dead suddenly of a massive heart attack in 1992 at the age of 52 while sitting behind the wheel of his car, warming up his car in his driveway one snowy morning. And he hadn’t even shoveled any snow yet, he was just sitting in his car.

He’d been sober from alcohol for over 25 years but could never give up chain smoking cigarettes or his really terrible diet even after being diagnosed as a diabetic.

But let’s do post every obituary from every local newspaper in the country and speculate some nefarious cause for the reason a middle-aged man might have a sudden fatal heart attack because, as we all know, that’s never happened before the COVID vax.
