…but these days when a 27 year old star dies unexpectedlyTM you can bet your bottom dollar it will say something like this:
Guardia posted about the loss and revealed Figueroa’s cause of death in an Instagram post shared Monday. “It saddens me to announce the passing of my beloved son Julián Figueroa, who has unfortunately preceded us in parting from this level,” read her post, translated to English per Billboard.
The actress said she was at the theater when her son was found unconscious at his home. “They called 911 and when the ambulance and police arrived, they found him already lifeless, with no traces of violence,” she wrote. “The medical report indicates that he died of an acute myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation.”
You know there was a time that if you went to twitter and clicked on the #unexpectedly tag nine out of ten tweet would be me noting something the left did “#unexpectedly of course” with the odd tweet or porn video mixed in. Over the last three years however it become dominated by pictures of young people and kids (and a few old folks 60 and up) who have suddenly dropped dead when they were the picture of health. #unexpetedly of course.\
When you think about it, I guess these are drug related deaths after all, just not the traditional ones like Coolio.
In a completely unrelated story:
Switzerland’s Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) announced that COVID vaccines are no longer recommended—even for people at high risk.
I wonder what the rate of myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation is there compared to three years ago?
