UK GB News host Mark Steyn recently questioned the unusual rash of young healthy athletes at the top of their game suddenly and mysteriously dropping dead.
Facetiously claiming there’s “nothing to see here,” Steyn pointed out a number of “fit, healthy, in the peak of condition” young people competing in cycling, rugby and soccer are dying for unknown reasons.
Steyn began by noting the Tuesday death of cyclist Rab Wardell, 37, who took home the Scottish MTB XC Championship title this past Sunday.
Wardell appeared fine in an interview with BBC Scotland the day after the race, however the next day he died after suffering a heart attack while in bed.
On Wednesday, Wardell’s partner Katie Archibald took to social media to tragically detail the distressing turn of events that led to his death.
Steyn next highlighted the recent death of Halifax rugby player Ben Benn, 30, who passed away on Monday, with no other details released other than the fact he “died suddenly,” and that friends were “completely shocked.”
“Nothing to see here in cycling, nothing to see here in rugby and nothing to see here in football,” Steyn said, segueing to footballer Molly White, 20, who is reported to have “died suddenly at the weekend.”
