You wonder how long it took for the kid and his parents to stop thinking about the what-if?

I know his Mom and I am pretty sure she still thinks about it. He is a Sophomore, but my guess is that his football playing days are over even if he would be cleared by doctors.

yeah...very lucky. I can't imagine having to deal with that.

Fatal accidents and timing/coincidence kind of fascinate me. A few years ago two high school kids were killed on Prom night in our county.

They were driving on country roads from one of their houses to the other so that the girl's mom could take pictures of them before they went to Prom. This was at like 5pm or something.  The young man was driving and blew through a stop sign and got side swiped killing them both.  It was a high speed accident.

What if the mom had just taken a few more pictures? What if she would have hugged him before he left just a few seconds longer?  

That stuff would drive me insane and I hope I never have to deal with it.

My cousin passed away a few months ago from the same thing.  Stupid freak accident.

I'm the same. my first thought whenever I heard of something like this is exactly the same as you....everything they did in life up to the point brought them to that very moment. If just one, meaningless, miniscule thing had been different....they'd still be alive.

Guy I went to school with had the same thing happen. Fell off his camper while cleaning it and was cleared by doctors. Few weeks later he collapsed and never woke up. 

Head injuries aren’t to be messed with so if you have one or you roll your eyes when your kid has to do a concussion test for something seemingly minor keep this kinda stuff in mind. 

HughFreakingDillon

so he had an enlarged heart, 95% blocked, some anti-anxiety meds in his system, but no booze or illegal drugs, and covid positive (which he stated in December).

Anxiety over that mentality is flawed and ignores the fact that people also have probably lived a multitude of experiences where if just one, meaningless, miniscule thing had been different, they may have been dead sooner and their free will kept them alive.

It doesn't ignore it at all. The anxiety is always after the fact.

If I cross the street and a car barely misses me I will remember that. And be stressed/anxious about it.

Just saw a dr from Atlanta disagree with the sheriffs conclusion that the damage to Bob Sagets skull was from an accident.  Front and back skull fractures, etc.  trying to find the article to post

I can’t find the interview with the doctor who disputed the autopsy (wasn’t Sanjay Gupta) but after reading the results fully, 95% blockage on one side of heart, prescription drugs for seizures and depression plus had covid….maybe he fell twice(?) I wonder if the comments by the doctor who disputed it got pulled.

I 100% relate to this but don't ever do that to yourself.  I was in the car with my brother for about 45 minutes; he dropped me at the train station to pick up my car and within 2 minutes after dropping me off he collapsed in his vehicle and was not tended to for too long.  He was revived; placed on life support but it was too late, he lacked oxygen to his brain for too long.  I have relived over and over every second of that trip, you can drive yourself insane.  Did I miss a sign, did I do something to cause this?  Never do that to yourself.  Who knows the actions my brother took before picking me up that could have affected the outcome?.  No one.  It was his time, we all have one, I guess that awful night in December was just his time.

wow...very sorry

bootlegger10

Wow, so the injury was similar to being hit with a bat or a 20-30 foot fall.

Crazy situation.  We may never know what happened (end of day not really our business anyway).

DewieCox

I’m reading a lot of surprising behavior is pretty common with deaths like this. Often the victim doesn’t even remember the fall. 

the baseball bat/30’ fall stuff didn’t come from a doctor that actually examined him. 

Zod

I remember as a kid, that rule #1 if someone got a concussion was don't let the person go to sleep.   Keep them awake. If you're the one with the concussion don't sleep.   Don't really now the science behind it, but I remember that be important as a child of the 80s.
