That's not the same thing as measuring these rare and random "collapses".

Get the frick out.

Hank Gathers? Don Redden?

Patrick's cause of death is unknown

Why in none of these mysterious deaths of young people, is diet and blood chemistry never implicated?

Dangerous keto and Atkins diets are popular nowadays. What about kidney function? What about blood NITROGEN levels?

Happens all the time

Don Redden, Pete Maravich, Wally Pontiff. And these are just LSU guys. It DOES happen all the time, and it always has. So much so, that a famous poem was written about it.

To an Athlete Dying Young
BY A. E. HOUSMAN
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears.

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl’s.

GTFOH

You can name a few over the past many decades…. So no, it didn’t always happen all the time.

Enter the jab…. Now, it happens weekly, if not daily.

NAIA but I don't know their vaccine requirements.

Do you think we are seeing vastly more than 6 deaths/yr now?

What about climate change and a warming planet? Why is that never factored into the unprecedented rise in unexpected deaths in a younger cohort?

I don't know - are they? You're the one making the claim that there has been a substantial deviation from some theoretical baseline.
