IUfaninIllinois Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 I understand this is an IU board but sometimes things in life happen and we need to pay our respects to a sad situation. An article says he died of natural causes at 25 years old. That’s just entirely too sad. 2 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maedhros Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Very sad news. I know that's a young man who had to overcome a lot of obstacles in his life, and still managed to put some good out into the world and make an impact. Far, far too young.

ColtsIUDomer Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Too sad indeed. How can 25 years be natural causes. Life is too short to be angry about the little things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there's some underlying health issue but the family may not have wanted an autopsy. Very sad news indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 FWIW, from G&B: "Found unconscious by the mother of his son. Had reached 600+ pounds and was severely diabetic and didn’t treat it. Organs were shutting down and had a cardiac event that took his life." Also this: "Hearing through back channels that his blood glucose was over 1700!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
