I wasn’t meaning to bring them out of the woodwork, it’s all varying reasons. Just a lot of kids from purely a numbers perspective. It’s just sad for all cases and unfortunate it seems to be more these days for whatever the cause. If anything, it more just broadly stresses the need for us all to look out for each other and just not ourselves. Feel like selflessness and empathy need to hit the forefront these days. Less toxicity and more support for our health and well being.

RIP to the kid.

Yeah I’m not saying you were. But then I’d expect people who love low hanging fruit to jump in and start peddling BS theories.

Fair, it’s unfortunate. Took quite a strange turn.

Definitely sad to see a young man pass in the prime of his life. It is interesting though how many young people are passing from so many different things. I read a study result yesterday showing how many chemicals are present in young men's stuff. It definitely makes you consider how much crap gets put in our bodies from a wide variety of sources. We're poisoning ourselves and don't even know what long term and short term effects from something as simple as a ear of corn or a nonstick pan might be.

Gen X and Millenials are the first generations to be raised primarily off of processed food w/additives in world history.  Most people think that was a post-war 40s/50s thing but processed foods and additives for hygiene and cleaning products only really started to take over in the 70s. There was a really great deep dive into this on Spilled Milk some weeks back.

There’s a lot of things that we may find out weren’t so good for us to be stuffing into our bodies. I think a clear indicator is how colon cancer is up so dramatically in both sexes for people under 35 in such a big way. Being a survivor myself, I find it to be a major issue.

This is off topic but yep, it’s a concern. Problem also being the worst stuff is the most accessible and inexpensive. 

Again off topic but it’s interesting. RIP to these young folks

Damn is a good word for it.  55 is still younger than I am, which always causes me to take a breath.

Let's wait and see if Siragusa's passing draws the same number of Xanax, fentanyl, mental health or other theories as Jaylon Ferguson.

Not sure why this is even a thread. Unless he was a Panther of course. People die every day.

LOL what?

Name me a single demographic in this country who has it better than a white, heterosexual male.

Not women- they don't even have a choice as to their own health care. Not any people of color- that's fairly obvious. Not the LGBTQ community- they're becoming more marginalized by the day. And the list goes on....

Bad day for the Ravens family

Goose was a lot of fun to watch as an analyst.

He was also the guy behind that infamous "truck" giveaway during a Panthers preseason game.

Time to grow the ignore list. This thread is really helping.
