Vegas shooting survivor, California charity co-founder dies suddenly

In the midst of all the anguish and grief of the events in Las Vegas, some people made it through with only mental scars rather than being physically harmed. One of those few has since passed away.

APPLE VALLEY, Calif. — About a week after surviving the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Kymberley Suchomel has died.

Suchomel, 28, who was not injured during last week’s shooting, died early Monday at her Apple Valley home, according to her grandmother, Julie Norton, the co-founder of the High Desert Phoenix Foundation.

Norton found Suchomel just after 8:30 a.m. when she arrived to care for her 3-year-old great-granddaughter, Scarlett. She believes Suchomel may have died in her sleep after her husband, Mike, left for work at 4:30 a.m.

“Kymberley had epilepsy and she’s always been prone to seizures — she told her friend that she recently had three focal seizures,” Norton told the Daily Press. “I believe the stress from the shooting took her life.”

It is being reported that she died of a pituitary tumor. Looking at this, pituitary tumors don't seem to cause death all that often, and cancers of the gland itself seem to be quite rare.

Almost all pituitary tumors are benign (non-cancerous) glandular tumors called pituitary adenomas. These tumors are considered benign because they don’t spread to other parts of the body, like cancers can do. Still, even benign pituitary tumors can cause significant health problems because of their location near the brain and because many of them secrete excess hormones.

Cancers of the pituitary gland are rare. Only a few hundred have ever been described in medical journals. They can occur at any age, but most are found in older people. These cancers usually make hormones, just like many adenomas do.

Without further detailed information on exactly what type of tumor she had, it is not clear whether or not that was the actual cause of death.

What makes her death interesting in light of all the events that have transpired is her social media post, a few choice excerpts:

From about 50 feet in front of us, and a little to the right, fire crackers were set off. Let me repeat that… FIRE CRACKERS WERE SET OFF. I verbally stated “some asshole just shot of fire crackers in close proximity to so many people”. I was literally pissed off. You could see Jason Aldean look to his left kind of startled by it, but he was also clearly irritated. I would say about 15 seconds later, the first volley of gunfire was released. It was a shorter volley than any of the others, and the gunfire was not as close together either.
...
Bullets were coming from every direction. Behind us, in front of us, to the side of us. But I know, I just know, that there was someone chasing us. The entire time I felt this way. The farther we got from the venue, the closer the gunfire got. I kept looking back expecting to see the gunmen- and I say MEN because there was more than one person. There was more than one gun firing. 100% more than one.

Now, much of the confusion is understandable as there would be not only echos of the sonic boom of the bullets, but of the reports as well. Ricochets could account for bullets, "coming from every direction," and the general panic could easily account for the, "someone chasing us," vibe she had.

I can easily understand how the stress of having experienced such an event could cause an existing illness to become exacerbated and so this could simply be a sad after effect of the situation.

The problem I have is that I also know that if there are those out there who would plan something on this scale, those same people would have no compunctions about tying up a few loose ends. And the fact that this possibility is even within the realm of consideration makes me sad for the state of our society in deed.

What says ATS?

Too much visibility and speaking the wrong narrative.
Clean up operation from the same agencies that did the attack.
I doubt she'll be the last survivor to die in the near future.

A more recent post of hers says this about the firecrackers:

At 10:05 PM my group of friends heard what we thought was firecrackers as Jason Aldean was finishing up “Any Ol' Barstool”, we chalked it up to just a drunk idiot sneaking them past security and continued to sing and dance. Seconds later he started “When She Says Baby” and that’s when things changed.

Bold added by me. Seems like as time passed perhaps she wasn't so sure of herself.

What's clear from her posts is that she was very, very impacted by the event. Sad, whether natural or unnatural.

Here is another report of firecrackers from the same area this lady was:

Too many coincidences = Cover up and more than one shooter!
So we have a witness that dies aged 28 who is sure that there was more than one shooter and we have a security guard who fails to turn up for interview. Paddocks home is broken into and the reported nature of the guy and his age is not in keeping with the act! He was a patsy and wacked either before or after the shooting started. What a way to cover your tracks than leave someone who happened to wack himself. BS!

Ok, what's strange is that it seems the other people Kymberley Suchomel was with all posted a very similar post right at 10:05 on October 8....presumably in recognition that it was exactly one week later.

The guy that Kymberley refers to as 'Ricky' in the post you pulled your quote from posted this version:

The boots that carried us on angels wings, forever stained by horrible things.

I’ll never forget the words he sang as I realized it was automatic gun fire and told everyone get down. “Some days it's tough just gettin' up, Throwin' on these boots and makin' that climb”.

The lives of myself, my friends, and so many others were changed forever exactly one week ago today. While I made it out physically unharmed, I will have mental and emotional scars forever.

Strength is what we gain from the madness we survive. I will never forget October 1st, 2017.

Bold added by me.

Kymberley may have become less sure...but her friend, Ricky, did not.

OP, so you can add another account of hearing firecrackers to your list.

(I don't want to post a link to the actual FB post, but if you want it, I will PM it to you.)

ETA: BTW, Kymberley died just hours after her post that Shamrock quoted.

That guys post sounds and feels totally truthful to me.

Thanks for sharing that.
Now I know the initial reports of shooters at the other hotels is probably true.

Wow...

You're right. A cover-up of astronomical proportions is apparently underway as we speak. Who/What has the authority and knowledge to be behind it?

I've seen enough now, nearly 2 weeks later.
It was a conspiracy.

I dunno if the government was behind it or if it was just ISIS or what, but I do know the govt is covering it up and protecting ISIS from being blamed. Why?

Our govt is so #'d up.

The CIA.

a reply to: carewemust

The ONLY even halfway reliable source of information we have is youtube video uploads of the actual events and the eyewitness accounts of people there.

The MSM and government statements are 100% UNRELIABLE and COMPLETE BS.

a reply to: MotherMayEye

In an interview that this Ricky fella gave he said

These first rounds heard in the videos honestly sounded like firecrackers to us. I believe it was caused by the shooter blowing out the windows in his 32nd floor perch while not aimed directly at the crowd. Since the rounds weren’t aimed in our direction, the sound signature seemed less intense, which is why I think many thought they were firecrackers.

Then at the end of the interview he did he says this:

I know this doesn't agree with the media reporting, but I am 100% convinced the shooter was aided and signaled from inside the venue with these firecrackers.

I don't think Ricky is quite as rock solid and unwavering in his story as what he first appears.

Do you have a link to this interview?

Also, he still sounds pretty sure despite the media not reporting on firecrackers.

If they confirmed this was an ISIS attack there would be a huge nationwide backlash. It would be open season on certain sections of the population. Of course that may be what some factions want.

I do not believe the "official story."

I do not believe the "official story."

I cannot say it enough. This is such a huge mess, and details change far too much. Anyone else catch Laura Loomer trying to communicate with the 'private security guard' who works for a company with an expired business license, standing in in front of the house of Jesus Campos? Why did his family say that they are not "allowed" to talk about him or where he is?

I've heard from some that shooting came from below the stage in the first minutes.

I wasn't there, and I have no authority in saying anything. But for those that were there, they sure do paint a picture that has more than one shooter. If that's the case, then this one fact being denied by authorities makes it more than clear that the event was planned and now in cover-up mode.

Damn. This is really weird.
