PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — A student-athlete who died had complained of chest pains before attending football practice Monday, the Palatka Police Department said.
Police responded to a home in Palatka around 6:20 a.m. Tuesday to reports of “a juvenile in possible cardiac arrest,” according to a post on social media from PPD.
Palatka Police Department said Aug. 13, 2024, that it appears that 15-year-old Robert Gillon died sometime during the night, and the initial results of his autopsy indicate that he died of natural causes.

“...complained of chest pains BEFORE attending football practice”
Who did he complain to? Who let him go to practice?
The problem is the kid was complaining (to somebody) about chest pains and nobody did anything......you see anything wrong with that?.....’cause I do.
Good question.....if the school knew......oh boy that’s terrible.
At least he didn’t die of “suddenly” as has recently been the case.
Stop trying to be coy and say what you’re thinking.
“So who did he complain about the pain to and why did they not do anything?”

At this point it unfortunately doesn’t matter for him. But I would urge people here on this thread to NOT ignore such signs.
Last Friday morning at about 2 AM I was awake (thank God) and started feeling pressure in my chest, a bit to the left of center. Since I had eaten a fast food double burger about 4 hours earlier, I figured that it was indigestion, and that it would pass in a couple of minutes. Well, it didn’t - it spread to my jaw (which I knew was a problem), and very shortly thereafter I started sweating. I knew what was happening, but I just couldn’t believe it. I still waited a couple of minutes, because I stupidly didn’t want to go through the hassle of calling 911 and going to the hospital, because I would miss work that day…but common sense (or my survival instinct) quickly changed my mind. I didn’t want to be that guy whose family found him dead on the floor the next morning. 36 hours later, I was home, complete with roto-rooter job and stents on 3 arteries. Modern medicine is truly a miracle, as a mere 50+ years earlier I would have pretty much had no options but to “tough it out.”
DON’T IGNORE CHEST PAIN!
I'm mildly curious as to what someone in a medical holding company does every day.
Please see my post number 26..
Probably a friend and they both blew it off.
Exactly. Imagine if it happened like this...
“Coach, my chest hurts. I don’t think I should practice today.”
“Suck it up son and be a man, not a GD pussy. Now get out there and give it all you’ve got.”
Amen.....had chest discomfort while mowing my lawn in 2015.....2 days later I had a Stent in my 90% blocked LAD artery.
Get used to a relationship with a cardiologist.....it’s now part of both our lives. 😏
That sounds like what I heard when I played high school football in the 70s.....I think they’re a little less hardass now but you never know.
“Suck it up son and be a man, not a GD pussy....”
Was the coach also wearing a tank top and sporting bicep tattoos? And chomping on a cigar while shouting?
‘Toxic masculinity’ virtue-signal is fail
Known medical condition which restricts blood flow during exercise often resulting in collapse. If O2 isn’t promptly administered it can result in death.
The same modern medicine that gave you your angioplasty and stents also gave us (among other things) the unsafe and ineffective mRNA injections. It's a two-edged sword.
Went straight to the ER, got admitted right away, and they found Pulmonary Embolisms (lung blood clots)! They started me on blood thinners and I was discharged 20 hours later. Been hiking again since without troubles.
Don't ignore symptoms!! Don't try to just "tough it out." These things can be fatal.

Yes, but the article says he complained about chest pain BEFORE practice. It was a clear warning sign something was not right.
Natural causes. ~ Myocardial infarction from pumping sludge thu his veins since he got THE JAB!
Not to the degree its occurring now. Thats the difference.
“I dunno but I went to a very large high school for 6 straight years back in the 70s and I don’t recall ANY students dying.....much less of a heart attack.”
Back then, we’d see a few heat stroke deaths each year since coaches were completely clueless about hydration . . . “No Water, it will toughen you up” was a common thought.
