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

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

Guess it must all be the vaccines fault. You know the vaccine Trump supposedly created all by himself. The man is a wonder for sure. Must have spent hours in the lab working 24/7.
Yeah it had to be the vaccine. The one Trump was taking a mask less victory lap over until he got bored with Covid and moved on.
Athletes and other young people have been dying unexpectedly forever. It’s nothing new. The cause is usually undetected health issues - not a vaccine that has saved millions of lives

whoever spent hours in the lab working 24/7 and thought it was safe for human consumption should be hung in the town square.

From a medical study from 2016

quote:

Sudden cardiac death is the most common medical cause of death in athletes, with an incidence of around 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 80,000 athletes per year according to the most recent estimates.

I’m interested to see what the numbers are since the jab came out.

The scientists who actually developed the vaccine should be honored. Millions were and are being still saved. The vast majority of Covid deaths since the vaccine became available were and are to the unvaccinated.
Take your chances if you want. Me and mine will be getting every shot that is recommended.
It’s a shame that so many allowed an idiot disgrace of a president to vilify a life saving vaccine. A vaccine he was eager to embrace as his personal creation until it didn’t get final approval before the 2020 election. So many have died who did not have to
