Very surprising and sad. RIP

 

[LB99]

Wow. I was never a fan but this is crazy news.

"You never know when the last one is"

He won this race 6 days ago...RIP Kyle.

 

[NittPicker]

Sad, unexpected news. Way too young at 41 and with some young kids as well.

Kyle Busch hospitalized due to illness, to miss Coca-Cola 600

NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch will not compete in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway after being hospitalized as the result of a severe illness.

www.espn.com

Also from this article:

“During a Cup Series race on May 10 at Watkins Glen, Busch radioed in to his crew requesting medical aid from Dr. Bill Heisel and a "shot" after the race. According to the TV broadcast, Busch had been struggling with a sinus cold that was exacerbated by the intense G-forces and elevation changes at the Upstate New York road course.”

This incident could be unrelated to his passing, of course.

Very sad news.

Just guessing, but viral meningitis or encephalitis could be possible.

Very sad news.

A severe bacterial sinus infection could gain access to the brain due to proximity. A brain abscess can then develop and that can be fatal. A subdural empyema also is another possibility that can develop from a severe sinus infection.

I as a fan of his since day 1. RIP

 

[KingLando]

Just terrible--so young and had two young kids (I think one under 5)
The cause doesn't really matter but it will be interesting to see what happened that suddenly.

 

[FK3JM]

Wow. Scary that a healthy 41 year old went that quickly. Very curious what it was….RIP

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

He drove trucks for my team Spire Motorsports. Very sad.

Wow.

This might be a completely uninformed take but sounds similar to how Jim Henson passed.

It seems that this came on suddenly. How does someone get so sick so quickly? Could it be related to the sinus infection that he had recently?

Is there a doctor in the house?

Kinda. I can tell you all kind of fascinating things about cyclic cohomology but, one, my phone’s keyboard is limited and, two, #subjectlinesmatter.

 

[Binder74]

Is there a doctor in the house?

I did stay at a Holiday Inn express.

 

[BCS PSU]

Is there a doctor in the house?

I just saw that he died of pneumonia that progressed into sepsis.

 

[KingLando]

I know a lot people refuse to rest when they're sick but you have to wonder exactly why he was so adamant about racing when he was that ill. Ultimately doesn't matter but it's just one of those things that I think many will ponder.

Yeah, this is the Henson connection for me. Henson refused to see a doctor, kept on working when he was obviously sick and getting sicker. Maybe less the same disease than the same mindset.

How do you know so much about gay bike riders?

A variation I’ve never seen before. Kudos.

 

[JoeLion]

I had an eight day hospital stay earlier this year with sepsis. I had rotovitus, epstein barr and two bacterial infections. It all came on very quickly. No one can explain how it all happened at once. The sickest I have ever been. At one point I didn't think I was going to make it.
