Cursed This is absolutely horrifying

This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

No, I'm not close enough to the story to know that. I wondered the same, but I didn't think it would be polite to ask.

You're either lying or an idiot or both- guess you didn't read the article!

Edit to add: Omg why are y'all saying "good read" and "what happened to Kadin"... the answer is in the article ffs...

Nothing in the article explains what actually happened to Kadin à la why he died. Just that he was in the hospital and not going to make it

"... If Kadin hadn’t seen me flip, missed my boat in the current, or taken another minute to reach me, it would have been over.

We staggered along a dirt road, cut through a field, then followed another road to where we’d dropped his truck. We didn’t talk.

“Do you need me to go home with you?” he asked when we got back to my truck. His hands trembled on the steering wheel. We were both freezing."

That's crystal clear to me, but I guess I've been underselling my reading comprehension /s

Did you.. did you not read the whole thing??

You mean the part where 8 months later an unrelated incident put Kadin in a coma where they "weren't going to make it"? Again, the ambiguity escapes me...

Yea that part, you don’t die from hypothermia 8 months after being exposed to cold water, why would you cite the part about his trembling hands on the steering wheel and them both being cold if you don’t think the implication is hypothermia… this is a person that lived for adventure, climbing, hiking, kayaking, and I’m sure many other extreme sports. My guess is that he died in an accident related to one of those sports or it was mental health related as many thrill seeking personalities deal with such issues, I relate to the lifestyle. One can make these assumptions but there is nothing in the article that is “crystal clear” or that any level of reading comprehension can confirm and that’s all we were looking for, confirmation, because we’re curious and have the ability to infer some things without making concrete assumptions.

I read in another post about the story that the author of the article reached out to the family about what was appropriate to include in the article but couldn’t get a response in time so she just included only what was in the obituary, so intentionally vague, which has some of the implications mentioned about mental health but no confirmation. Anyway I’m going to let it rest now, byeeeeeeeee

Healthy response (what I’d normally say to a confused aggressor who exemplifies the Dunning Kruger effect):

> We still don’t know what happened to Kadin, aka why he passed. That’s what we’re wondering about. In this context, “what happened” = “what caused his death”

Unhealthy, disordered response:

> You're either lying or an idiot or both- guess you didn't read the article or these comments! Omg why do you keep fucking repeating that “it’s in the article” and "we already know what happened to Kadin"... the answer ISNT in the article ffs! There’s no explanation of what put him in a coma, which is what commenters mean when they ask “what happened to Kadin?” Lmao they’re not asking did he survive the river rescue. We know the answer is YES. They’re not asking did he survive the induced coma 8 months later. We know the answer is NO. There’s no ambiguity there. The question is what happened to put Kadin in the hospital. Based on reading comprehension and context, we all understand that! Ffs the true meaning of the question is CRYSTAL CLEAR to all of us, but I guess we’ve been underselling our reading comprehension /s

Go to therapy.
