Nascars Kyle Busch Death

As many probably are aware Rowdy has left the building. I started watching Nascar 22 years ago and Kyle and Tony Stewart were at the forefront when I started viewing. His winning bows to the crowd were something I always remember. And the boos that followed Like him or hate him he sure left his mark.
Condolences to his family and fans

    RIP to a Champion.

    Peculiar that the family and the media have so far chosen not to comment on a cause of death. Note: I see now that the cause of death has been revealed as pneumonia which led to sepsis.

    Tragic.

    I was wondering about that. Your post is the first I've heard about the cause. Such a shame, he almost certainly had symptoms for perhaps a few days before he passed. But he's a tough guy, and I guess he figured his body could fight off whatever it was.

    I try to tell everybody, if you've got symptoms, but aren't the type of person who likes going to a doctor, me included, at least take the time, could be hours, to research the symptoms on the internet. All the information is out there, you just need to put in the work and find it.

    All that being said, if the symptoms are worsening, and you can't figure it out, get yourself to a doctor and quickly. Just a bad feeling that Busch could have survived this if he would have reacted sooner. I googled sepsis, and it seems that an immediate IV of antibiotics and fluids may, if not probably, would have saved him, especially at his young age.

    I don’t know if there’s truth to it but someone was talking about his death this afternoon and they said there is something up with a team doctor he saw like 10 days before he died who gave him something that they probably shouldn’t have to keep him racing. I don’t watch nascar or trucks so I didn’t follow him but it seems like someone is going to get sued and it sounds like the family thinks that they masked his symptoms and that allowed the infection to spread unnoticed.

    That and he wasn’t lucky enough to have told you so expert Steve at his side. Anyways. Sucks for him and his family. RIP to him and everyone else who dies all the time. And the animals. And dreams. Those die too.

    During his last race there was communication between Kyle and his pit crew of a health related nature. I will try to locate it.
