"Fourteen-year-old Kyle Losse of Delta was using an e-cigarette in the bathroom of his family home Sunday when he fell and may have struck his head. He died Tuesday after being placed on life support."


From July 18th 2018:

Losse died of complications from stroke: autopsy report

"According to the autopsy report, there are strong suggestions that the stroke was caused due to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD).

“FMD is a non-inflammatory, non-atherosclerotic arteriopathy that is classically described as a string-of beads lesion on angiography with a cerebral-renal distribution,” said the report. “The historical features of this case show features that would be consistent with the intimal form of FDM.”

On Jan. 21, Niki and Brian heard a loud bang and rushed upstairs in their home to find Kyle on the ground in the bathroom. He was responsive, but weak and unable to stand on his own. Brian picked him up and carried him to the car and they rushed Kyle to Delta Hospital emergency.

He was admitted and remained in the hospital for eight hours where some tests were done and was discharged the following morning seemingly in good enough health to go home.

But his condition soon worsened and he was rushed by ambulance to BC Children’s Hospital where a CT scan showed a significant brain injury that doctors could not explain. He was taken off life support on Jan. 23.

Shortly after his death both the BC Coroner’s Service and Fraser Health launched investigations with the family consenting to a full autopsy, which was performed on Jan. 25 and 26 at BC Children’s Hospital.

At the time Kyle was found on the bathroom floor an e-vape device was found. There has been speculation that Kyle’s brain injury was due to a reaction from nicotine, but the autopsy showed that no nicotine was present in his system."


So I wonder when the hundred or so Internet rags that posted this fake news scaremongering bullshit are going to issue corrections on this story?
