Early story was he had a stroke several hours after the protest.
A stroke does not occur suddenly. It is a blockage of blood vessels to the brain, and that takes years or decades to build up.
Trauma can create stroke. I'm not saying that I believe he was struck with a fire extinguisher, because I saw the video. But just as a data point, trauma can create stroke.
A stroke is the blockage of blood vessels. Period. It takes many years to build up to a point where it "suddenly" happens. It does not happen from a single traumatic experience.
Science, bro.
Bro, do your research. Sincerely, a Registered Nurse.
I had a stroke a few years ago. They can happen very suddenly (mine was an acute ischemic stroke— where a clot breaks off from another part of the body and makes its way to the brain), but that kind of stroke is extremely rare in younger people and requires a pre-existing condition that could originate the blood clot, then a channel through which the clot gets to the brain (like a congenital heart defect.) I find the stroke story extremely unlikely because he would have had a well-documented chronic medical condition, and he’s young enough that he would been given brain surgery.
Correct.
Oh and if you have a stroke while in the hospital they can usually dissolve it on the spot and is usually not fatal then.
