Teen With Medical Microchip Dies in Fla.
Oct 1, 10:43 PM (ET)
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - A teen engineering prodigy who gained national attention in 2002 when he and his family received identification chip implants on live television was killed in a motorcycle accident, authorities said.
Derek Jacobs, 18, lost control of his motorcycle early Saturday and crashed into a guardrail and a pole, the Palm Beach County sheriff's office said. He was wearing a helmet.
"It was just a crazy accident of a bump or something, and he was catapulted," said his mother, Leslie Jacobs. "He had, of course, potential, because he was brilliant, and he was just a wonderful son. He wanted to make a difference in the world."
Derek was set to get his engineering degree this year after only two years at Florida International University. He wanted to be a neurosurgeon, his mother said.

Well, as much as i am against the "mark of the beast", i'd say this was an unfortunate accident that happens every day.
Now, if all others start dying..........
Is this the first case?
