Mysterious Deaths Doctors Can't Explain

a nightmare so terrifying you die is even possible today we're taking a look at a series of

deaths

throughout history that

doctors

are still struggling to

explain

let's get started Rodney Marks was a brilliant young Australian astrophysicist who remains the only person who potentially killed on the continent of Antarctica It was the spring of 2000 when Rodney was working in Antarctica for the second time. He had been there a couple of years before doing research and enjoyed the work. He was passionate about his field and was engaged to a woman on the base, he was surrounded by intelligent companions and had plenty of access to food, water and alcohol for those cold Antarctic nights, life was good, cold but good, one afternoon in May, Rodney was walking outside between two buildings, a walk you'd want to keep as short as possible given that the temperature outside in the Antarctic winter was around negative 80 degrees Fahrenheit, he found himself struggling to breathe out of concern for his health and rushed to see the doctor. research station, Dr.

Robert Thompson, who was concerned to see the young, healthy Rodney in distress, attempted to treat him, but Rodney's condition only worsened over the course of just 36 hours. Rodney went from walking between stations, to visiting the doctor, to receiving emergency satellite calls with medical professionals around the world, to going into cardiac arrest. Dr. Thompson was stunned, but the mystery was just beginning to unfold and an autopsy would need to be performed to determine the specific cause of death, but because Antarctica was heading toward its southern hemisphere, winter flights in and out of the base would be stopped for at least six months.

Rodney's body was kept in a freezer until flights resumed half a year later, he was taken to a coroner in New Zealand the cause of death methanol poisoning methanol is a type of non-potable alcohol used for Industrial poison is highly poisonous, just two ounces is all it takes to kill an adult, and those that survive are often left blind. The methanol and Rodney's body probably came from the cleaning chemicals he used on the telescopes he operated. So what was the methanol doing in Rodney's body according to the New Zealand pathologist who tested the contents? Unfortunately, the clarity ends there.

Some speculate that Rodney had accidentally consumed a chemical substance while attempting to brew his own private stash of moonshine, but with plenty of alcohol available on base, this does not mean that the more controversial view is that Rodney was poisoned to death. death, whether by negligent homicide or murder, the investigations into Rodney's death have been deeply complicated. The research station Rodney worked at was operated by the United States. The actual land on which the base was located is claimed by the country of New Zealand hailed US rejections, while Rodney was an Australian citizen, the New Zealand Authority led an international investigation into Rodney's death , but the US intelligence agencies were met with opposition from Steve, who refused to share his own findings about the 49 people stationed at the New Zealand base.

He was only able to receive information from 13 of them and the rest refused to cooperate, not to mention, aside from some sentimental personal effects, Rodney's property and workstation were wiped clean and reset eliminating any hope of a fruitful in-person investigation. After years and years of investigation, investigators came to the conclusion that while methanol poisoning killed Rodney, how it entered his body would forever remain unknown. Infamous poet and author Edgar Allan Poe published classic works of chilling American literature like The Tell-Tale Heart and The Raven, but What Happened to Poe was even scarier than anything he put on the page because it was real.

It was a dark, rainy October afternoon in 1849 when a man stumbled down a street in Baltimore, Maryland. He was dirty. He was upset. In fact, he was. Edgar Allan Poe was also ignored, strangers passing by paying little attention to the figure they believed him to be a drunken tramp. Fortunately, a man named Joseph Walker saw Edgar wallowing in the sewer. Walker, who worked for the Baltimore Sun newspaper, recognized Edgar and pulled him to his feet. and they took him to a nearby tavern Edgar was delirious talking nonsense he was in horrible shape and

mysterious

ly he wasn't wearing his own clothes instead of his classic black wool suit he was wearing a cheap suit that didn't fit him well and a straw hat Joseph managed to speak some phrase to Edgar and asked him to name a local doctor Dr.

J.E Snodgrass Joseph quickly wrote the following letter and sent it Dear Sir, There is a rather worn gentleman on the pulse of Ryan's Fourth Ward who is named after Edgar to Poe and he appears very distressed and says that he knows him and that he needs immediate help. He his in a hurry. Joseph W Walker. The letter was received and Edgar was quickly transported to the hospital where he remained adrift for several days. In and out of consciousness on October 7th he died, the

doctors

were as confused as the day they brought him in. There are several theories about what exactly killed Edgar Allan Poe.

Then a local Baltimore newspaper said he died of congestion of the brain, perhaps they meant. the stroke a brain hemorrhage maybe a blood clot maybe an aneurysm a diet diagnosis of brain congestion especially at that time it was a reasonable diagnosis he was acting unusual he was not moving normally all of these are signs of some kind of illness Neurological reality Dr. Snodgrass believes that Edgar died from alcohol withdrawal. Personal accounts of Edgar's life indicate that he was a heavy drinker and Tremors and delirium are symptoms of someone whose body is withdrawing from an addictive substance such as alcohol.

None of this would answer why he was wearing someone else's clothes and the straw hat which has led others to believe he was the victim of some kind of foul play. Another interesting theory is rabies, a viral infection often caused by animal bites that almost always It is fatal unless you have been vaccinated. The ups and downs of delirium are consistent with rabies patients and hospital records indicate that Edgar had drinking problems. One of the most unusual symptoms of rabies is an actual phobia or fear of water. We will never know what happened to Edgar Allan Pope.

He will always remain a medical Ministry, only this and nothing more. Jockey Frank Hayes died on his horse while winning a race. It was a warm summer day in 1923 in Belmont Park in New York. Crowds gathered and bets were placed as horses and their riders prepared for a day of racing. The most excited of all was Frank Hayes. A 22-year-old jockey, according to Frank's mother, had dreamed of being a jockey since he was a little boy and had been working as a horse trainer for three years, finally, after paying his dues for a long time, the big one came along.

Frank's chance, he was given the chance to ride a horse named Sweet Kiss that had five to one odds of taking home the gold. Frank had dreamed of this moment all his life and wanted to make the most of it. Frank attempted to lose up to 12 pounds on the course. of a single day to go to the water and try to sweat off as much weight as you can to make yourself lighter and give yourself a winning advantage as well as a sweet kiss. This is actually very common for those who box or do MMA, but it is not something recommended by a doctor. professionals because a rise and fall in water weight can actually cause an electrolyte abnormality that causes a person to develop delirium, kidney disease, or even death with the sweltering summer sun beating down on them.

A frank and sweet kiss took its place at the starting line, the smell of a newborn. He mowed the grass on the field and the buzz of the crowd filled the air. Everything Frank had dreamed of was about to come true, but as quickly as he would achieve his dreams, they would also come to an abrupt end. The gun went off and the horses took off. Frank had swept his Barrel in the head as fast as they could overcoming his competition obstacle after obstacle Frank charged forward slowly establishing an advantage over the rest of the group the faster the faster Frank got to their sides he was ahead by a nose than the dust The track flew into the air, the crowd roared like the Roman Colosseum, he lowered his head and pushed a sweet kiss even harder, run, baby, run, he ordered as the sweet kiss inched further and further ahead. of the competition in the stands, the children danced, the women cheered, the men took their bets. slips praying for a payday from Frank and a sweet kiss the horses made their last turn they cleared their finish Steeples sweet kiss was in the lead one hundred meters 50 meters 20 meters ten to five sweet kiss ahead in his first race as a jockey Frank had achieved his dream he was a winner but he was also dead the crowd erupted in celebration followed by laughter when the sweet kiss stopped and Frank Hayes fell lifeless to the ground they thought he had been joking maybe he slipped maybe he was celebrating The last half it slowly ceased as Frank lay there in a completely still heap as a crowd gathered around him.

Dr. John a Voorhees rushed to Frank's side and turned him around almost immediately. Frank was pronounced dead according to his mother. Frank Hayes had a weak heart which made his concern for his future as a jockey it is believed that a combination of extreme exhaustion as he struggled to lose weight plus the incredible intensity of the race itself became too much for Frank's heart and he suffered a stroke. heart rate before crossing the finish line. Of course this is just speculation and his exact cause of death will always be unknown regardless Frank Hayes He remains the only jockey in recorded history to win a race while dead his record forever remains at 1-0 in the 1970s , the Southeast Asian nation of Laos was embroiled in a civil war, a peaceful mountainous society called the Hmong did not want to participate in the conflict and sought asylum around the world. 35,000 Hmong made their way to the United States and started a new life, but for some, the horror they fled back home followed them to the new world. settled in welcoming cities across the United States, places like Missoula Montana, Providence, Rhode Island, and Santa Ana, California, they began the process of picking up the pieces of their lives, got new jobs, joined new communities, and established new identities as refugees seeking peace.

Easy, very few of them spoke English, in fact, their native language had not even been written, this made it difficult to assimilate into American culture. Unfortunately, the weight became too much for some, over the next few years, dozens of Laotian refugees, most of them young men. With an average age of 33 years they died in their sleep, autopsies were performed on the deceased, which generated more questions and answers. Dr. Michael McGee, an assistant medical examiner for Saint Paul Minnesota, where several of the

deaths

occurred, said this: I know what you didn't know. they died from they did not die from a shot to the head stabbed in the heart they did not fall from the ceiling they were not poisoned because we did an autopsy in each case we got a big zero several deaths were witnessed by those living with the deceased, although reports differ between Witnesses, some claim to have noticed something was wrong with the person when they started breathing abnormally in their beds, their limbs became stiff, they salivated excessively and were unresponsive 10 to 30 minutes later, they died, how did they do it? many healthy people from a single community die without any evidence or apparent cause of death.

There is a theory: they are nightmares. In the Philippines it is called hitting God. In Hmong it is called dabsog in Western medicine textbooks. It is called sudden arrhythmic death syndrome or immediate death. and unexpected cardiac arrest, we know that there are times when, under immense stress, the heart can react in a way that it actually stops beating, but why do the Hmong, many small isolated Asian communities, practice animism or a common belief system in indigenous groups that says that all beings, places and things? Possessing a spiritual and soulful presence, the Hmong community believes deeply in spiritual experiences, such as a shaman using spiritual energy to heal them.

The theory goes that the Hmong experienced significant trauma while fleeing Laos in the form of war and culture shock upon entering the US so that it haunted them in their nightmares due to their deep belief that visions and spirits are impacting your reality. These nightmares became so overwhelming that it resulted in cardiac arrest that killed young and otherwise healthy refugees. The exact cause of this cardiac arrest is still unknown. We know exactly why it happened to them.specifically to these youths, not to mention that the doctors never discovered why the later groups of the Mong Shelter never suffered the same fate.

It is truly a medical mystery. John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley and James A. Garfield are all presidents of the United States. who were murdered on the job but there was a fifth let me introduce you to Zachary Taylor, the twelfth president of the United States. Taylor's only term was abruptly cut short after only about a year in office on July 4. 1850 President Taylor was in town celebrating America's birthday on the streets of Washington DC. It was a stiflingly hot and humid summer, but not too hot for the president. He walked among the people. He laughed among the people.

He drank among the people specifically in the water. ice milk and lots of cherries and if you ask most doctors and historians they will tell you that's what he did to her five days after the holidays. Zachary Taylor fell ill, had cramps and nausea, suffered from dehydration and diarrhea, and it killed him in just a few days. The prevailing theory was that he had contracted a case of dysentery or cholera, a bacterial disease spread in contaminated water and milk. Washington DC's sewer system was in its infancy in the mid-19th century, resulting in cholera outbreaks when the air was hot and humid, which are conditions ripe for the spread of the disease.

It makes sense that this is what killed President Taylor, but if it's that simple, why is it in this video? It's because there have been strong conspiracy theories about what Zachary Taylor did. He did not die of cholera, but was poisoned by pro-slavery southerners in the eventual run-up to the Civil War. The theory goes that an assassin poisoned the president's water with arsenic, an element found naturally in the Earth's crust but also converted into an inorganic substance. form used for chemical purposes that is highly poisonous to humans, interestingly, the symptoms of arsenic poison are very similar to those of cholera and considering how often people in DC die from cholera in the summer, it would be a cover perfect that would allow the Killer to put an end to crime and develop a new political agenda.

This isn't just a tinfoil hat conspiracy. It gained so much traction that President Taylor's descendants approved the examination of his grave in 1991. His remains were recovered and analyzed for arsenic. The conclusion is not overwhelming enough to confirm that President Zachary Taylor was our nation's first assassinated leader, but whether it was infected water, spoiled milk, rotten cherries, or something else that killed President Taylor, doctors will never They will be able to say with certainty what killed all the other presidents of the United States. click here to watch the video and find out the causes of death of all the presidents, click here and Zoe will stay happy and healthy
