Most of the sports deaths I think arise from underlying conditions. Athletes are now pushing themselves to far greater levels than previous generations.
BBC News Article from 2018
The risk of footballers dying because their heart stops beating is higher than experts thought, a study suggests.
There have been high-profile deaths, including that of Marc-Vivien Foe while playing for Cameroon aged 28. Former England defender Ugo Ehiogu, who was a Spurs coach, died last year aged 44.
The study, in the New England Journal of Medicine, comes from two decades of data on 11,168 youth players in the UK.
Doctors said there was a duty to protect players.
Diseases that affect the heart muscle - cardiomyopathies - are silent killers. The first symptom can be the heart suddenly stopping.
This is why clubs have a screening programme for academy players at age 16.
The dangers are higher in elite athletes because taxing the heart can trigger their underlying disease.
Adrenaline, changes in electrolytes and dehydration all increase the risk of triggering a cardiac arrest.
People are more likely to die at a hospital, so that isn't a good indicator of mortality amongst the population at large.

We're much better than we used to be over the past few decades.
In the US more people die at home than in the hospital, for the first time in decades. And the trend will likely continue.
More Americans Are Dying at Home Than in Hospitals

Yes, I know. But it's not true for United States. People don't go to a hospital to die, they go there to get treated and get better. There are accidents in hospitals and people die and there are accidents at home and people die.
But overall in US, people die more in their own home then they do in the hospital.
In 2017, 29.8 percent of deaths by natural causes occurred in hospitals, and 30.7 percent at home, researchers reported on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Recent studies of medical errors have estimated errors may account for as many as 251,000 deaths annually in the United States (U.S)., making medical errors the third leading cause of death.

It will take several years at least, and probably more like several decades before enough truth comes out about this to prosecute someone, and by then those who should have been prosecuted will be dead and no one will be held accountable for the many deaths caused. It's happened before, and it will happen again.
Each time, there are those who sound the alarm, those who ignore it, and those who want to kill the messenger.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

Weak sauce. These deaths have accelerated massively since 2021. Research it and see, and not just some random “a study suggests”. What study? Who “suggests” it? How do these random incidents compare to the substantial increases in these deaths we have seen over the past 18 months?
There has to be some small part of you that recognizes how utterly illogical you're being. Denying that an injection known to cause cardiac events is also causing an increase in what you acknowledge is deaths from exacerbated cardiac conditions makes no sense. There is no escape from that simple logic. I don't know how you expect anybody to take you seriously when you are unable to acknowledge it.
I was 11 when I first blacked out, under water, in a primary school swimming lesson. I was a strong swimmer and determined to finish ahead of the girl next to me. As I dived in, I remember thinking “I’m going to beat her”. I got as far as the lifeguard and woke up pool-side, wrapped in tin foil, with my teacher standing over me, having administered CPR.
That was the first sign of my rare heart abnormality, also known as sudden death syndrome. It refers to a number of different cardiac diseases that together affect around 1 in 7,000 people. All I recall about that first attack was vividly picturing my little sister, Bronagh, and the sight, as I came to, of school friends being ushered out in tears.
For months the doctors were at a loss as to what was wrong with an otherwise healthy and sporty pre-teen. I was pretty relaxed about what had happened – I was 11, after all – but I became more aware of myself. Once, during a school test, I looked down and felt my heart race so rapidly I could almost see it beating through my jumper.
Each year in the United States, approximately 210,000 Americans die suddenly and unexpectedly due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest. (American Heart Association 2017)
10-12% of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) cases are due to Long QT Syndrome
LQTS is now known to be 3 times more common in the US than childhood leukemia
1 in 200,000 high school athletes in the US will die suddenly, most without any prior symptoms—JAMA 1996; 276
The problemn is athletes were droping dead from heart attack long before covid and the jab, so there has to be a small part of that sees the truth rather than the doom porn..
