Bre Peyton RIP

RetRN — Sat, 29 Dec 2018 16:20:51 GMT

I had seen this 26 yr. old on TV a couple of times recently and thought she had a very promising future. She was a writer for the Federalist.

Sadly she passed away yesterday. Condolences to her parents, siblings, and boyfriend. How very sad.

I am not familiar with this person however it always distresses me when I learn that someone so young has passed away.

Friends who saw her Wednesday said she was fine. No symptoms? Meningitis was also mentioned as a possible cause, in addition to H1N1 flu. I’m generally not in favor of autopsies, but in this case ....

I'd never heard of Bre Peyton but read about her passing. Totally shocking that this could happen to someone so young and seemingly healthy. The brief article I read suggested she was fine the day before she fell ill...and then was found unconscious and beyond help. Her family and friends must be devastated.....and in total disbelief!

The YouTube channel I listen to for current events,

Agenda Free TV, did a special broadcast on her.

Many will know all the details, but for those of us who

don’t know who she was, this might help.

It’s a terrible heartbreaking tragedy.

Bre Payton, 26, beloved staff writer for The Federalist, passed away on Friday in San Diego, California following a sudden illness.

Bre’s Story..

Around 8:30, on December 27th, Bre's friend went into her room and found her unresponsive and barely breathing. She immediately called 911 and Bre was taken to the hospital where she was admitted to the ICU, sedated and intubated, and doctors began working up a diagnosis. After a CT scan and hours of testing, they determined she had the H1N1 flu and meningitis. While at the hospital in San Diego, her condition worsened and worsened.

Bre fought her illness with strength but, passed on December 28th, 2018. She will be survived by her four siblings and parents. She fought strong and lived a life worth noting in the books. We are so incredibly honored to have known this wonderful human being. ~ Caring Bridge

That’s sad and shocking

Seems unlikely you could be healthy one day and die from the flu the next. I hope they’re investigating

ITA.

Quite possibly she might have had an underlying medical issue

not visible to those close to her. Maybe lowered immunity

not able to fight normal viruses which wouldn’t affect most.

Maybe it was the meningitis or a combination of both.

A very smart & accomplished young woman, she will be missed. Blessings to her loved ones. Rest In Peace.

@sidsmom I was thinking the same thing. Possibly some immune system compromise that nobody was aware of??? Beyond tragic.

30 yrs ago A friends husband went to sleep one night and didn’t wake up. Had not been sick, no known medical conditions. Autopsy and toxi tests concluded his heart just stopped. He was just over 30 years old.

@RetRN @kitcat51 @haddon9 @meallen616 @sidsmom thanks to all of you for expressions of sympathy. She truly was a good and most beautiful person inside and out. She had climbed the ladder of success rapidly over the last 2 years due to her hard effort. Family is dealing as best as could be expected. She was close to home due to a fill-in appearance on a tv network the night before. There were many diagnoses kicked around and it is truly confusing at this point. She was my great-niece. May she RIP.

Frightening and tragic. When I read about this tragedy yesterday, I was deeply distressed. So sad.

May her family and friends find comfort somehow, and may she rest in peace.

It has to be more than ‘...just stopped’ when talking about a 30yr old.

Humans are not built by a Greater Power to just expire without notice,

especially at that age...without an underlying issue not addressed.

There has to be a level of self-care not met in these cases.

@RetRN

I too had seen Bre many times on my network of choice. She was very articulate and seemed well educated beyond her years of life. Always seemed so alive and a happy young women.

Condolences to all who loved this young lady. I will miss her and her insightful commentary and smile.

Thanks for noting this, @RetRN. Everyone familiar with her seems to be shocked and grieving the loss of this well-loved, promising young writing talent.

Condolences to you and the rest of your family, @kjae.
