NASCAR Kyle Busch was hospitalized this week. Then died today. Only 41.

There’s nothing wrong about having a open discussion about mark’s small package

Thank you, hikingrobert/tacobender

He passed out in a driving simulator and he was coughing up blood at one point too.

"Was found unresponsive" is often code words for something everyone knew was going on

Family said it was sepsis brought on by severe pneumonia. Crazy that a rich person dies of that in this day and age.

I saw that this morning. I wonder what the timeline is from pneumonia to sepsis?

I had sepsis from pneumonia when I had covid and lying in the ventilator. High fever. They kept trying different antibiotics. Cold plates on my chest and an open window. I don't know if sepsis is that rare actually.

My first guess when a young rich fast living person dies is drugs. Sometimes the famous persons family and company/business want the name/reputation and money preserved so you hear these vague causes claimed. I’d like to see toxicology.

Imagine what Hankins toxicology will be?

I've thought about this, race car drivers and drugs, booze etc. A lot is invested in the driver and I think the team would want to keep him sharp. Wouldn't surprise me if they had in-house drug testing. Though I'm more thinking of Formula 1 but I assume there is a lot of investment in NASCAR as well. All those engineers working feverishly and then you have a driver come in to race hungover.

Ever the contrarian.

Nobody told Stroker Ace what to do, not Clyde Torkel or even Loni Anderson

It was just a thought and something I've actually thought about previously. But Igoogled it and apparently there is no in-house drug testing. Furthermore, Formula 1 basically haven't had ANY positives for a long time.

I can't believe he had pneumonia and didn't get medical treatment.

Yeah, I just don't trust the story being pushed.  Young, rich, fast living, A-type personalities untimely deaths aren't usually from lack of doctors, especially when he clearly had a doctor looking at him for pneumonia known about for weeks.

They probably get weekly medical checkups before they let them race.

All the more reason to question the story

Tell you what, when I got Covid I didn't feel real bad until I was suddenly rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. So I think it's possible it comes on real quickly. I mean my lungs were filled with fluid by that point. Actually, I had had the swine flu a year earlier - same exact thing. Suddenly deathly ill.
