Coroner Finds Cause of Singer Sean’s Levert’s Death

A coroner has ruled that the singer Sean Levert died of natural causes. He died soon after getting sick in jail. Attorneys for Levert’s widow found in sheriff’s department records that he wasn’t given his anti-anxiety medicine while he was in jail and he wasn’t being seen by a doctor, which could have possibly prevented his death. He died on March 30th at the age of 39 at a hospital nearly an hour after he was taken from the Cuyahoga County jail. He was sentenced to serve 22 months in jail for failing to pay child support.

Levert had supposedly been acting strange and was restrained before getting sick. The coroner states that he died from complications of sarcoidosis, which is an inflammatory lung disease that produces small lumps of cells in the body’s organs. He also had heart disease, high blood sugar, and withdrawal symptoms from the drug alprazolam, which is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

Sean Levert was a member of the 1980s group called Levert. He was also the son of O’Jays singer Eddie Levert.

Cell Phones Cause Cancer

Cell Phones are microwave transmitters that oscillate at millions to billions of cycles per second. Those frequencies can cause cancer and other diseases by interfering with cellular DNA and its repair mechanisms. The cellular microwaves and radiation even cause rapid cell aging and makes cancerous cells grow more rapidly and aggressively. It is a good tip not to point your cellular antenna towards any exposed part of the body but radiation also comes through the keypad and mouthpiece and affects the brain, ear, and eye tissues. Belt clips allows radiation to affect the liver and kidney.

Doctor Causes Bomb Threat

It is reported that a doctor in Seattle, Washington who had missed his flight with Northwest Airlines called the police three times to tell the operators that there was a bomb on the plane, which forced the plane’s return to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The doctor went to court on Thursday, July 26th, and was charged with making a false threat against an aircraft. He admitted that he used a payphone at the airport to call 911 emergency services three times after he arrived at the gate too late to board the plane. After his first call of claiming there was a bomb on the plane, he looked outside and noticed that the call had no effect so he made a second and third call.

The doctor claimed that he thought the calls would make the airline ground the plane for a couple of hours because bomb threats are taken seriously. He also claimed that he had not been taking his antidepressant medication.

When the plane was brought back, it was grounded for several hours while the authorities determined the threat to be false. Northwest Airlines estimated that they lost $70,000 in fuel, gate fees, and other expenses.
