    I read plenty of stories, sad to lose such great writing.

    His brother says his death may have been intentional, don’t know why Qatar would do that over LGBT advocacy.

    Anyways he was quite the talent.

    According to what I’ve read - he had been complaining of respiratory issues for a week, and it was severe enough he had sought medical care days before his death, tested negative for COVID supposedly so either he had a different pulmonary infection or they misdiagnosed him. The speculation was bronchitis.

    After he was treated he supposedly felt better, but I’m guessing it was tied to whatever was going on with this respiratory infection.

    Well find out more assuming they do an autopsy and toxicology.

    Or simply myocarditis or blood clots. Interesting peer reviewed study out of Germany showing roughly 1 in 5 sudden deaths studied were due to myocarditist.
