Congressman’s teen daughter dies, cause unknown

Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) Monday announced the death of his 17-year-old daughter Gwen, who abruptly passed away on Monday morning. The cause of death is unknown, though the DuPage County Coroner is investigating. 

“This morning, Congressman Casten’s beloved daughter, Gwen (17), passed away,” tweeted the Congressman’s account Tuesday. “The Casten family requests privacy, and we will be issuing no further comment during this heartbreaking time.” 

The untimely death comes as news media report an alarming rise in deaths among young, healthy people. News outlets say the deaths are flummoxing doctors, who are calling the phenomenon Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and are starting “SADS registries” to discover the cause of the deaths. 

Physicians who predicted the phenomenon were since censored and not included in any of the media reports. Those doctors include Dr. Zev Zelenko and Dr. Peter McCullough, the most published cardiologist in the world, who stated that the risks of the vaccine outweigh its benefits.   

Studies have also shown a significant correlation between cardiac arrest and the COVID-19 vaccine, though these, too, were attacked.   

Congressman Casten, who is in the middle of a re-election campaign, is a major proponent of the vaccine, calling the unvaccinated “knuckleheads” in September and telling Business Insider that every member of his staff got the shots “because they don’t like to be dead.” 

“I’ve made a point of not hiring knuckleheads, and everybody on our staff got vaccinated…” he said. 

In August, Casten asserted that anyone in a position of power who does not push vaccines and masks does not value life.

"If you're not vaccinated, get vaccinated," he tweeted. “If you can't get vaccinated, wear a mask. If ANYONE in a position of power says anything to the contrary, they do not value your life.”

Casten also expressed his gratitude for the shot when he contracted COVID-19 in January. 

“I’m grateful for the miraculous work of our scientists and health care workers — and encourage everyone to get vaccinated, boosted, and mask up,” Casten said. 

Gwen, who was active in her father’s campaign, was known to tweet fierce support for the vaccine and facemasks. 

Media outlets are reporting SADS as so serious that those under 40 are urged to get their hearts checked. Still, the COVID-19 vaccines were not mentioned in any of the reports.
