So very sad and shocking.

Former college tennis star Lilly Kimbell died of a heart attack at 31 after she suddenly collapsed at home and was rushed to the hospital.

Despite efforts to perform CPR and save her life, doctors determined she had a massive heart attack. The lack of oxygen left her brain unable to regain consciousness, and she was removed from life support.


Kimbell was one of the most successful tennis players in collegiate history. She won a staggering 197 victories, including 109 in doubles and 88 in singles. She reached the NCAA Quarterfinals four times.

University of Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace said, “We were stunned and heartbroken to learn of Lilly passing away. I will always remember how she helped create a culture of excellence with her attitude and work ethic,” he continued.

“Lilly was a fantastic teammate and was always smiling and laughing during practice and matches. She ranks as one of the most successful doubles players in Georgia tennis history,” he added. “During the spring of her sophomore year, she went undefeated in doubles with Maho (Kowase), and their 22-match winning streak is still a school record. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.” -- American Insider

Lilly Kimbell on the right

Not sure if it was from the COVID shot or not but that has happened due to the shot and this is why all of those asshats that preached to get the experimental vaccine to "love thy neighbor" was entirely irresponsible.

She looks like the picture of health. Absolutely heart breaking to see so many young, fit people getting seriously injured or dying from heart attacks over the last few years.

We all know what's causing them. Prayers to her family

Honest question did this just happen or did this happen a few months ago.

my buddy was a runner on the UGA track team (4:01 mile in HS), and a few months ago he shared a story of a female tennis player his age having a cardiac issue. He said she was really good and was a really fun person. I didnt know if this was the same girl or not

edit, I asked him. its the same girl. It happened late spring or so

Don’t understand why people are arguing about the vax. She was obviously vaccinated or she would have been among the millions of unvaccinated that were dying in the streets everyday

Oh yeah, you know it's the shot. Young people dropping like flies. The Ol' "sudden adult death syndrome". What a crock of shite. RIP young lady, you were misled.
