Badger Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 on a sadder note: it reminds me of one kid I went to high school, couple years after graduation, he got hit by vehicle, when trying to cross the road at his college. His father had died of a sudden heart attack the previous year. (my mother worked with his mother, so you can imagine how that affected the mother-she did have a 2nd younger son at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Bruins Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 The way people are carrying on about him, are we sure he didn't rise from the dead three days afterward and the media just didn't follow up on the story?
