People keep dropping dead lately

Post Reply New Topic

A colleague of mine has tragically lost her dad, due to an unexpected death. He was a healthy middle-aged man and he just died all of a sudden. He had no known health issues or defects. I don't know if he smoked or drank or not.

Also a man my mum used to know had a heart attack a few years ago. He never smoked or drank, and he was very fit and healthy, and often worked out at the gym and hardly ever got ill, and he had a highly active life (worked as a fire-fighter, had a wife, children and lots of friends). He was only 39. He was just going about his normal daily business, when he just collapsed and died.

Then this man my dad knew had a friend that unexpectedly had a blood clot in his brain and dropped dead whilst paying a bill in a bank, then 2 months later a friend of his collapsed of a similar thing. It's odd that 2 of your friends (who are unrelated to each other) can both die unexpectedly like that in the space of 2 months. One of them was in his thirties, the other was only in his twenties.

I understand this sort of thing happening to people over 70 (even though 70 is not that old, it is still more common than younger), but otherwise it's scary. Sometimes I worry I might suddenly die, or worse, it happening to loved ones.

I know I shouldn't worry about such a thing but when I hear about it happening to people, I feel worried and frightened.

All I can say is: Life is fickle that way.

I'm probably lucky to have lived to age 57.

And I intend to live till at least age 97.

Quite a few people at work and people I know have lost family members and friends last few months. Its sad, but atleast they’re free now from this horrible world.

The world ain't that bad.

We still have lots of Nature.

World is horrible. And what very little natural we have left you mean until we destroy and kill it all. I’m sure the rich have bunkers able to make them oxygen thoug, rest of us will die. Trees make us oxygen but rich want to cut them all down for money.

That's just not the way it is.

You have thousands of miles of pine forest in Russia, for example.

You have the really pretty grasslands of Africa.

Have you been to a place like San Juan Island in Washington State?

Haven't you noticed that nature is going to a hot place in a hand basket because of the earth cancer called the human race? Bees and frogs are dying and their loss is going to devastate the planet, the ice caps are melting and every five minutes there's some kind of extreme weather disaster. And yet that ret*d Donald Trump, yeah that's right, I said ret*d because there's really no better word for him, has his head jammed up his own buttocks in denial along with all the other idiots who refuse to do anything. AND IT'S ALL THE AMERICANS' FAULT SUCH A BASTARD WAS ELECTED BECAUSE *YOU* ELECTED HIM, NOT RUSSIANS OR WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BLAME THIS ON!! ALL. YOUR. OWN. FAULT!!
I guess I'm going to get banned now for telling the truth. But I'm so sick of it it's a wonder I haven't dropped dead yet.

I have experienced the same.

A person I knew in Toastmasters died in a car accident.

My sister lost her battle with MS on March 9.

I just heard of a 15-year-old boy had died last week. But it's one of those things where people have their own stories of what they heard he died of; some say he died of a terminal illness, others say he just died unexpectedly for no reason. Both are awful and tragic, but at least if he was suffering a terminal illness his death was expected. But just dropping dead for no apparent reason, it's more of a shock than ever.

I hate the state of the world, but I still don't want to die, and I'm not so worried about myself, I'm worried about it happening to people I love. Yes, the state of the world is frightening; the maniac Kim Jong Un who keeps threatening to end humanity, and the way the UK is going like Tories f*****g up the NHS. It is all scary.
