Madison's death follows a growing list of mysterious deaths and medical episodes among young adults and athletes:
On January 12, 2023, we wrote about 18 year old Jordan Brister, a Las Vegas High School student who collapsed and died in the bathroom after gym class.
His death came the same week as the death of another Las Vegas High School student. Brister's collapse was on January 8, 2023, and another student, 16 year old Ashari Hughes, had died just three days prior "following a flag football game at Desert Oasis High School" and suffering a "medical episode".
Also in the first week of January 2023, we wrote about 21 year old Air Force football player Hunter Brown, who suffered a "medical emergency" while walking to class and passed away.
In the opening days of 2023 the MMA world was also shocked at the unexpected death of 18 year old Victoria Lee, a rising star on the the ONE Championship MMA promotion.
In January 2023, we also highlighted Old Dominion basketball player Imo Essien collapsing on the court during the middle of a game.
His collapse came a little more than a week after NFL player Demar Hamlin collapsed on the field due to cardiac arrest after making what appeared to be a routine tackle.
