This hit me hard. I just recently got his 2022 sketchbook and it really got me hooked. So sad to see such a talented artist pass so early

Me too, I got into him in 2019, and bought 1 sketchbook last year, and the 22 this year. I had the luxury of meeting him last week in Paris.

As I understand he died close to air travel. Sitting cramped for hours can create blood clots in legs etc.

Not sure where he first had chest pains, but the message says on the way to the airport. Whether they reached the airport, or in the car, but don't think on the plane.

The likelihood is not "10-15% per person" that, during the operational lifespan of any given AED, that someone would have a heart attack at work, be treated by that specific AED, and have that treatment be life-saving. (That was the point of the meteor comparison.)

The lifespan is 10-15 years depending on the model. Most people were at moderate risk, unfit, drinking alcohol, poor exercise, high stress job ...etc. For moderate risk 10-15% is the stat over a 5 year period. Most where moderate a few, 2 I think, were low and we had a few high and one very high risk given he'd possibly already had a small heart attack. Also note that you didn't take into consideration that the devic…

You are overestimating how often heart attacks in the office happen.

A few years ago I decided I wanted to buy one of his limited prints with some extra money I was to earn. Then I pushed it off for a bit due to a few poor excuses, and eventually forgot about it. And now his prints are of course ... out of print. I'm not saying I need a numbered and signed limited print like The Tigers New Clothes [1] but it would be nice with maybe just a regularly, unsigned, unnumbered poster on my…

His sketchbooks are awesome, and often have a large poster/print in them. I think for sure they will have prints in the future, just not signed of-course any more as much as KJG would love to from up there.

Because they're already jumping to a biased conclusion by asking the question. Heart disease was a top killer before Covid existed. For all we know he ate poorly but still looked fit. Or had a genetic condition. So why even ask that question here? Covid/vaccine related questions should best be left to topics concerning large scale studies, not a single tragic instance.

> Because they're already jumping to a biased conclusion by asking the question You «jump[] to a biased conclusion» only when the conclusion is held - which you cannot conclude. The poster should keep it open: you should do the same. As you are mandated by the guidelines and the constraint against weak interpretations.

There is also zero reason to assume he was vaccinated while traveling through multiple foreign countries.

The vaccination status questions appear, because the theories about this being caused by covid vaccination flew over internet in anti vaccine circles. Just like every time famous person dies. The the whole political goal of these questions is to imply he was killed by vaccination while not needing to prove anything.

And it IS manipulative political question. We don't know his vaccination status nor when he was vaccinated. That happens to be private health information.

Heart attack at 47, and he looks reasonably fit too in that linked video from 2019 (age 44). What to do with this information? I don't know. Maybe work on cardio, stop coffee?.

you cant talk about the potential causes in here.

hope its not the covid vaccine side effect!

This Reuters article is disingenuous at best. They're downplaying the harm by changing the context. Re: "found that 18% -- not one third -- experienced any detectable cardiac effect" This research found 1:43 harm - because that harm included detection of damage to the heart via blood: "Troponin blood test - troponin is a protein which is released into the blood stream when the heart muscle is damaged. The troponin le…

I guess that would be a big concern if 301 wasn't literally the number of participants in the study. What kind of confidence interval can you extrapolate from that? And elevated troponin is not definitive of permanent heart damage. In the context of Kim Jung Gi's death, studies suggest an excess of https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-31401-5/figures/3 I suspect this is considerably less of a risk to that age b…

"And elevated troponin is not definitive of permanent heart damage."

What else causes heart damage and troponin to release?

We're going on suspicions now rather than thoroughly reviewed science and data?
