This goes along with my question of why we have not seen a toxicology report. I think it was the drug Neely was on that led to his death.
If it was fentanyl and Neely had a bad heart, he would be extremely vulnerable to death as a result of respiratory depression (that’s the medical term for it). Chances of death from a “chokehold” would have been increased by the fentanyl dosage. Neely could have been one step from heart failure. According to Daniel Penny, he had Neely in that neck hold not more that 7 minutes. If Neely was near an overdose situation, it would be a small effort to push him over the edge. Actually all Penny had to do was tackle Neely and knock the wind out of him and, if he was on fentanyl, a toxic level of this drug would have been sufficient to trigger heart failure. One also has to take into consideration Neely’s physical health.
There is information that Neely was unconscious when police arrived at the scene, but he died after being taken to the hospital. This tells me Neely had overdosed and the effects of the drug was working to put him over the edge.
An example of respiratory depression is commotio cordis (the wind knocked out of one). An athlete gets hit in the chest with the ball and collapses, suffering sudden cardiac arrest. Yes this actually happens. Without immediate care, the athlete will die. Instead of being a Marine, Daniel Penny could have been a football player. What would have happened if Penny tackled poor Neely?
Does one have to do a medical test for fentanyl to defend oneself and others? Is the public so stupid they have no clue about the effects of these opioids on respiration and exactly why such drugs kill? Finally, why is the media—yes, you too Fox and Newsmax—so ignorant about the fentanyl element in Neely’s death? Why has there been no association to Neely’s bazaar behavior and a fentanyl effect on his behavior? Where are the medical advisors if the news people are so ignorant?
His “Family” has ignored or covered up his behavior for YEARS.
