Blow dryer blamed for Malaysian actress’ sudden death

Medical “experts” are blaming a blow dryer for the sudden death of Malaysian singer and actress Queenzy Cheng, who died suddenly last week from a ruptured brain aneurysm, according to AsiaOne.

The 37-year-old was on set filming a new episode for a YouTube channel when she said she was feeling unwell.

"After blow-drying her hair, she suddenly sat down and said she felt dizzy, stating she had a headache and felt like vomiting," Cheng’s co-star Chai Zi told news media. An ambulance was called after Cheng vomited.

Her heart rate accelerated and her lips, hands, and feet turned blue. Despite efforts by first responders to resuscitate her, she was pronounced dead in the studio from what was later determined to be a brain aneurysm.

Cheng was known for leading a healthy lifestyle, according to her boyfriend and parents.

“We never expected that a healthy person with no history of medical complications would pass away so suddenly. We really cannot accept it,” said Cheng’s father, who had spoken with his daughter the day before and noted she sounded fine.

Dr Eugene Chooi, an internal medicine physician at China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University, told Asian media that Queenzy’s blow dryer was the likely culprit.

"After blow-drying her hair, she said she felt dizzy, had a headache and felt like vomiting. This is clearly a symptom of something affecting her head and nerves,” Chooi said. He explained that aneurysms can go undetected, but if the patient is tired and uses a high heat setting on the blow dryer, the machine can cause the blood to circulate faster and burst the aneurysm. Blood then hemorrhages in the brain.

A day before, 20-year-old Taiwanese singer Ko Chen-syun also died suddenly, reported The Star. The singer, who rose to fame on Taiwan’s popular singing reality show, was found lying motionless at the Yilan hotel where he worked. The autopsy listed the cause of death as “cardiovascular disease” but no further details were reported.

Blow drying is only the latest explanation put forth by medical “experts” and media operatives to explain a recent spate of sudden deaths among young, healthy people.

Researchers in June suggested that vigorous exercise is “a possible clue to the apparent mystery of sudden massive cardiac arrests of otherwise asymptomatic individuals working out in the gymnasium that keeps on killing human lives with no apparent rationalizing explanation.”

Too little exercise has also been suggested as the “mystery killer,” as have coffee and tea. Other possible culprits include coughing, not vaccinating or masking enough, the sound of an airplane overhead, shoveling snow, skipping breakfast, postal codes, paychecks, parents, “climate change,” loneliness, sleeping positions, soil, and others.
