46-year-old mother 'dies suddenly' on plane in front of husband, children

Children were forced to fly eight hours next to the body of their mother after she “died suddenly” in her sleep during a flight Friday from Honk Kong to Britain, reported the Daily Mail. 

After 15 years of living in Hong Kong, 46-year-old midwife Helen Rhodes boarded the flight with her husband Simon and two children to start a new chapter in their lives in the United Kingdom. A few hours into the flight, Rhodes became unresponsive during her sleep and was pronounced dead mid-flight. Her husband and two young children, Nathan and Emma, continued to sit with her until the plane touched down in Frankfurt eight hours later. 

As with an alarming number of recent sudden deaths, no cause of death has been announced. 

The death toll among young, healthy people dying suddenly and inexplicably continues to rise, with the causes of death kept quietly under wraps even months later. 

So is the case with Rep. Sean Casten’s (D-IL) 17-year-old daughter Gwen, whose death in June still remains a mystery. No cause of death has since been announced by the family since the girl died in her sleep, and Rep. Casten did not respond to America’s Frontline News’ recent request for an update. 

Last month, 13-year-old Athumani Brown was deemed to have died of “natural causes” after the boy suddenly dropped dead during a school trip, reportedly from a cardiac arrest. 

The mystery continued last month when four celebrities died unexpectedly within one week, and six young Canadian physicians – three of whom worked at the same hospital – died within two weeks of each other. The hospitals have yet to announce the causes of death. 

Around the same time, 20-year-old college basketball star Derek Gray died unexpectedly after suffering a ‘cardiac event’;  no further explanation has been given. 

The unexplained body count is causing even the mainstream media to sound the alarm on an increase in sudden, unexplained deaths which are “baffling” the media’s doctors, who have named the phenomenon Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). 

There have been no persistent calls for public health authorities to investigate the cause of these deaths and many others like them. For their part, public health authorities continue to remain silent on the issue.
