Died of Cardiac Arrest - wont know caise until.the autopsy. Hoping they had an AED to use while waiting for EMT's. AL law requires each school have one but only 1 person in the school is required to know how to use it. Every adult in the building should be trained - that's what we did in the 2 schools I worked in.

I would be shocked if coaches didn't have AED training as part of their certification. At least in CT, the coaching first aid requirement is separate from teaching.

Really should be required for everyone. Takes, what, 10 minutes to learn? Literally stick it on and push a button.
 
Very sad. May he rest in peace.

Tina Charles is on a mission to help. It’s tragic how many people are lost to sudden cardiac arrest. AED’s are about $5,000, every athletic facility should have one

And everyone should know how to use it - easier than CPR - machine won't shock if it's not needed. Have made sure we had at least one in both schools I worked in and trained everyone in its use.
We even gave one at the pool in our communi5y and I trained everyone h9w to use it. Even kids can do it.

Amazing that it is not required in 18 states

States where CPR Training is Mandatory for Coaches - School CPR

Most coaches are required to take CPR and First Aid training courses. Many times, concussions, heat illness prevention, and sportsmanship are part of your requirements as a coach. We do teach about concussions and heat illness prevention within our CPR/First Aid course. Here is a map of known...

I read an article that said the fatality rate of cardiac arrest at athletic events is very high if no defibrillator is on-site, and for those who survive the death rate in the next 3 years is over 50% if the cause can't be determined and addressed. I suppose due to irreparable heart muscle damage. For the life of me I can't find it to share here. Horrible news. I was watching the Hank Gathers game live on TV and it's an image that will be with me for life.

I remember when Reggie Lewis died. My dad had just picked me up from work at what used to be Edwards in Litchfield. I think it' snow a Stop & Shop. Anyways, I love the C's and he was the guy at the time. The news came on over the car radio. My dad knew it shook me because aside from being a big fan, because I grew up with a abnormality heartbeat that self corrected when I was 16. But I had been undergoing yearly tests from when I was 5 or 6. Doctors told me I was fine to play sports, but not to run a marathon (no lo.ss there). It still would be in the back of my mind though.
When I heard about Lewis, that image of Gathers kept replaying in my mind as well. Strange how guys in great shape can be here one moment and than from all accounts gone in a flash.

The Edwards in Litchfield was Finast, then Edwards, then Stop & Shop, now Ocean State Job Lots. The newer Stop & Shop was built in the Village green lot a little up the street in the back, same little plaza where La Tienda/Señor Panchos was. They're putting a Jersey Mike's in there.

That had to have been pretty intense. Has the teenage self-correction pretty much made this a closed matter for you? Hope so.

It's not just him. Young adults are dying at way higher rates than the historical norms.


www.usatoday.com

More young Americans are dying – and it's not COVID. Why aren't we searching for answers?

Among workers 35 to 44 years old, a stunning 34% more died than expected last quarter, with above-average rates in other age groups, too. But why?

It's disturbing and disturbing how little it's talked about. There seems to be one crisis after another so I get people are burned out but this needs to be talked about way more and we need answers so something can be done about it.

Observation of the human psyche has been really something the past 3.5 years. I think the term ignorance is bliss really applies to many. They would rather dismiss stuff like this saying oh well stuff like this always happened. It’s tragic but it’s nothing new. Wrong. The numbers and the data bear it out. But it requires people going outside of the standard comfort zone to research and hear points from sources they’re not accustomed to seeing and diving into the information. I think many people prefer to stay in the dark because it’s more comfortable and frankly less terrifying sometimes.

And in my humble opinion if one thinks that every one of the crisis after crisis events are completely organic, well, I’d like to sell them on a commitment to UConn from the Boozer twins.
 
Long term studies will be needed to see if contraction of Covid contributed to any of this, but you gotta be suspicious.
