Anything on the autopsy findings of Nick Skala?

[Pool Hall Ace]

Nick Skala was the 27-year old Northwest University Law Student who passed away in his sleep on August 3 (original thread here). Nick was an intern for Global Trade Watch and a strong advocate for single-payer.

Is it too tinfoily to suggest something is up here? I haven't even read anything that says autopsy results are inconclusive. Just -- nothing.

Bush killed him with his Tsunami machine.

18. I am not making fun of anyone

I am making fun of an absurd thread.

19. Those accusations are against DU rules, Kingofalldems.

Alerted.

:thumbsup:

21. And mocking other members isn't?

[Ignis]

22. Mocking DUers' beliefs =!= Mocking other DUers.

I don't have a horse in this race, but them's the rules. :hi:

23. I'm not mocking anyone

I'm just using humor to point out an absurdity.

26. The Mods do a pretty good job of cleaning up such things

3. Yes, a northwest university law student held the key to single payer!

so he was killed. Lots of people die in there sleep--even young people.

[ensho]

6. no they don't

you have any stats to prove a lot of people die in their sleep?

[Brickbat]

15. 2,000-3,000 young people die from sudden cardiac arrest every year.

8. I realize that people die in their sleep.

Enough people were familiar with Nick's work that his death was reported on many websites. But I would think by now that a cause and manner of death would have been established.

10. This is one of most ridiculous tinfoil hat moments I've ever seen on DU...

...And that's saying it's right up there with the people who think the Twin Towers were brought down by nuclear bombs.

[vadawg]

12. or that vaccines have zombie creating chemicals in them, kinda surreal

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Nuclear bombs? WOW now that is a new one

:-)

Though it would explain the lack of a detonator cap or detcord....

:hi:

[vadawg]

14. lol it sure would... :)

25. I could have mentioned the ones who think it was an outer space ray-gun.

But the mini-nuke believers are simply too precious and too massive in their total scientific illiteracy not to have a special place in my heart.

16. I'm only asking a question, not proffering a suggestion.

Do you have any other hobbies besides playing internet bully?

[Freddie Stubbs]

17. Just like the birthers are only "asking a question"

[TheWraith]

24. Bing!

A classic technique of conspiracy theories is to ask a question that's either leading or based on a completely false premise ("Why won't Obama show us his birth certificate?"), and insinuate an ulterior motive ("What do they have to hide?"), without actually saying anything concrete. The uncritical reader/listener is lead to a conclusion, thinking that they came to it by evidence and open debate.

20. How is asking how a young man died a "tinfoil hat moment" ?

If you don't know how he died, then move on. :shrug:

11. First they came for the interns, and they were paid nothing.
