That's both tragic and possibly the most GenX way to go out imaginable

Quick, someone get eyes on Christian Slater and make sure he's ok.

But how will I know he isn't an alternate personality signifying some deep suppression?

Literally. Also literally died doing what he loved.

I'm not familiar with the guy but the article doesn't mention any major health issues leading up to this.

He died fairly young. It's sad and tragic. But many of us would be so lucky. I've seen enough people deteriorate for years before finally losing their fight. That's so much harder on themselves and everyone around them.

A disturbing number of people have a heart condition slowly killing them and they don't even know it. Things like bad cholesterol, hyper tension, sleep apnea, or an arrhythmia can exist undiagnosed for a decade or more and then suddenly your heart gives up and you die.

No doubt. But, if they don't even know it, they can't be suffering too much at least. A quick death with minimal suffering is better than one full of years of pain, like a cancer slowly eating you away while the treatment you are receiving for it eats you away even more.

I can understand that. As for me I would just rather not die, or get old (ageing sucks, one star, do not recommend) and just live forever to avoid the existential fear of missing out of what is going to come tomorrow.

Divio42 t1_itqar8j wrote

Totally understand that, too. Though another part of me is just curious enough about what, if anything, comes next to where I'd probably accept it when it happens. And, if nothing comes next, then I won't be around to lodge a complaint with life's supervisor.

Afterlife Karen says she wants to speak to the Afterlife's manager, her accommodations are a bit too toasty.

I lost both parents very suddenly like this four years apart, and I agree. Although it was shocking it is also much easier than spending years taking care of someone you know will never get better.

My sister (35F) has an arrhythmia and was told by her doctor that she is too young to need treatment. Sometimes even when you know it can be a crapshoot.

A good friend of mine had a heart attack last year (age 49) he lived despite the local hospital telling him it was probably just indigestion. Luckily he sought out another opinion at a different hospital an hour away. Had to get a stent in an artery.

Go to the doctor. Get a check up. Every year. Even if you always feel fine. Get the tests they recommend done, cancer screenings, blood glucose, etc.

Everyone's fine until they're not. The earlier you identify a problem, the better your chance of surviving or avoiding it.

Can’t cholesterol be checked every year?

code_archeologist t1_ituqumk wrote

Yes, but not everybody gets it checked, because the test may not be covered by their insurance or they just skip their annual check ups.

My uncle owned a funeral home and the worst death he told me about was a guy that choked on a chicken sandwich at work.

My conservative coworker is saying this is related to the COVID vaccines. He's reading it somewhere so be prepared to hear it from others.

They're conveniently ignoring that a global virus that also causes heart issues, blood clots, and other medical emergencies resulting in death is circulating. Even if you had a mild case.

Honestly at this point I'm kind of just willing to let them tie their own noose. COVID is endemic and does far worse to those that aren't vaccinated.

Did I just step into a time machine for fucks sake you stupid “conservatives” you used to make fun of the anti vaxx trend because it started in California and because they thought it caused autism

Thinking back, that was probably just the trial run for the Russian propaganda bots and they picked some random Facebook mom group in CA

>The station said Mr Gough died at 07:50 BST. Music suddenly stopped before starting again several minutes later.

Does this imply that he was able to start the music back up as he was dying? If so, that's a hardcore love of music.

Redtwooo t1_itra14e wrote

The station staff probably put music on once someone noticed it was playing dead air.

TheHolyHerb t1_itrha9x wrote

It may have also been automatic. Many stations have dead air sensors that pick up and start playing something else because stations can be fined by the FCC for broadcasting dead air if it last awhile.

This was in the UK, so not governed by the FCC, but they may have similar rules.

Oh, my bad. Like a true redditor I didn’t actually read the article to see where the station was located at.

Yeah, because you inject soccer balls into your bloodstream where they work at a microscopic level where you can't see what they're doing, soccer balls are made by shady companies and you'll get censored if you criticize soccer balls.

Retiring in his 40s, looking like he’s 75 rather than 55 in the top pic…wonder if he had been sick for a while?
