A Pennsylvania Hospital also stated that dehydration could have played a part. He was usually covered with that powdery brown dust. That would have further dehydrated him in addition to the heavy clothing.
The article I read mentioned that Michael Kelly was also embedded with Bloom's unit. 3rd something.
People ignore doctor's advice every day but as you could tell, he was caught up in the moment and felt young and alive.
Apparently, he bent over to pack his gear this a.m. and collapsed. Clots move around and aspirin won't dissolve a large one. Everyone over there is in my prayers.
I mentioned on another thread that I remember watching him on his local station in Miami during and after the long ordeal of Hurricane Andrew (Kerry Sanders was also reporting locally at that time). I kind of felt a kinship with both of them because of that. I was glad to see them on NBC after we had all left Miami, and I'm so sorry to see David go. Almost no one here on FR has said a bad word about him today. High praise indeed!
