The family of Illinois Rep. Sean Casten revealed in a statement Friday that his 17-year-old daughter, Gwen Casten, died of sudden cardiac arrhythmia.
Gwen was found unresponsive in her family’s Illinois home on June 13.
In the statement made by Gwen’s family on Sean’s Instagram page, the family wrote, “In layman’s terms she was fine and then her heart stopped. We don’t know what caused the arrhythmia, and likely never will.”
“Gwen was a healthy 2022 teenager,” the statement read. “She ate well, exercised, got regular check-ups, didn’t suffer from any behavioral health issues, and had close relationships with family and friends.”
The family said they fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and quarantined after occasional positive, asymptomatic COVID tests during the omicron wave.
At the time of her death, they added, “She had just come home from an evening with friends, went to bed and didn’t wake up. We are heartbroken, but we are not unique. Sudden, unexplained heart-failure among young, healthy people is rare but real. We are left grasping at the wrong end of random chance.”
The family went on to thank those who offered condolences following Gwen’s death. “We’ve cried again over each of your letters, messages, meals, and flowers, but they are appreciated,” they wrote, adding that they are also “grateful” for donations to the Downers Grove North Friends of Fine Arts and March for Our Lives, causes that Gwen was actively involved in.
“It is a comfort to know how many lives Gwen touched over her 17 years,” the statement said. “She had a big, beautiful, kind, loving heart. And it stopped, as all must.
“None of us know when our last heartbeat will come. The best we can hope for is that when our loved ones do pass, we will have no regrets about the time we were lucky enough to share,” it concluded. “So hug the folks you love a little harder today. Be present in their lives. And spread your love a little farther. Because in the end, it’s all that remains.”
Another fully vacinated bites the dust. Hmmmmm?
That was my thought exactly!!! I’d almost be willing to bet on it!
B.I.N.G.O! If she never got the jab; (because it is NOT a “vaccine”) she would probably be alive today!
I’ll bet she walked under a ladder that day! Or maybe a black cat walked in front of her the day before! Did she spill salt? Or maybe she was inhaling AIR just before she died! “A” happened then “B” happened, so “A” CAUSED “B” is STUPID and is pretty much the basis for ALL SUPERSTITION! This country is devolving into an ANTI-SCIENCE SUPERSTITIOUS tribe—thanks to people LIKE YOU! You want to know what really will kill you? Ignoring your doctor, not taking prescribed medicines, and treating yourself with VOODOO medicine!
YOU PEOPLE ARE THE BEVERLY HILLBILLY’S OF TODAY—AND JUST AS STUPIDLY FUNNY AS THEY WERE!
I think the same but they don’t even wonder or Question! Totally brain washed.
Finally, a report of a “young healthy person’s death” from one of the known side effects of the vaccine, and they actually report that she was “fully vaccinated.” What several warned us about, then censored by social media for stating this horrible side effect dealing with heart issues in the young vaccinated persons, is finally coming to fruition. We’re seeing more and more reports of these deaths.
You DO realize that 500,000 Americans died of COVID-19 don’t you? If you’re a gamblin’ man (and you obviously are!) consider your odds—did 500,000 Americans mysteriously drop dead after getting the Covid vaccine? Because 500,000 Americans DID “mysteriously” drop dead after getting Covid! You need to seriously study betting odds—it will help both your poker game and your approach to life!
It’s a rare thing, maybe the vaccine had a part in it, I just don’t know how you have any happiness in your life after this tragedy.
Hate to say it but “You think it might be all those jabs she got???!!!” You are in denial if you think otherwise, and the fact that you don’t stand up and say something to keep other healthy, young folks from dying from the Covid vaccines is scary to me.
