My Take…
I have not seen any explanation why so many chefs have been dying suddenly or unexpectedly in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Women and men.
Consequence of COVID-19 vaccine mandates? Something else?
“The working age population of United States has been poisoned” – Edward Dowd, former BlackRock Hedge fund Manager, after examining US Insurance data from 2020 to 2022 and seeing skyrocketing disabilities and deaths in the working age population that accepted COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
UPDATE: After writing this article I learned that SuperBowl Chef Connie Johnson died suddenly on April 13, 2023. She was 56 years old (click here)
Thanks to our friend Jack of Edmonton for submitting this one of Jon Hameister-Ries to the list.
Jon Hameister-Ries, a former CFL player who became a chef, should be added to the list. He died on June 9, 2021 at the age of 37, and no cause of death has been identified.

The deaths just keep on coming:
