PENN YAN €“
Penn Yan Police have identified the man who died last week the roof of
the Walgreen's Drug Store on the corner of Liberty and Elm Streets in
Penn Yan.
Police Chief Mark Hulse reports that Christopher A. Young, 54, of
Farmington, was admitted to the roof of Walgreens by internal access
Tuesday, July 19 to clean the roof drains. There he suffered a heart
related incident and died.
As an independent contractor hired by the Walgreens Corp., Hulse says no
one at the store knew Young's name nor noticed when he did not come down
from the roof. Young's unattended vehicle was later reported to police
who attempted to contact him, but the connection to the man who went up
on the roof was not made until store employees checked the store
security video, and then discovered his body on the roof at 2:10 p.m.
July 22.
Young's name was withheld by police until his family had been notified.
He lived alone with no one to report him missing. Hulse says Young had
only a sister living near him, but it was not unusual for them to be out
of touch for periods of time.
Young's body was removed to Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital where
the post mortem was performed by a local pathologist, Dr. Dean, who
ruled the death to be by natural causes related to the heart.
Local Walgreens store management referred all questions to Walgreens
Corporation Media Relations Dept. personnel, who refused to comment.

Stormy, I know you will be remembered fondly by many members of this group. We will definitely miss you. God bless
you.



Breaks my heart that he had to die alone. I hope
the Lord sent an angle or saint to hold him up.

When I had a heart attack, I was standing in line with a shopping cart full of stuff. I came to on the floor with my head in the lap of a young woman who was patting my face. The store is 2 blocks from a fire station and paramedics. I had a very sore chest when I settled down in the ICU and was told that my heart had stopped in the ambulance. A big paramedic had beat the crap out of my chest to restart my heart. Paramedics saved my life because they were right there treating me within a few minutes of me hitting the floor. I was lucky and if my friend Chris had been on the roof with a helper, he might be online right now posting the story of his close call. 8-(

I had unstable angina and felt that crushing pain. It was not a heart
attack but a 90% blocked artery. I had already diagnosed myself with
angina and was going to speak about it since I had a checkup coming in a
few weeks. When I woke with the pain which I usually felt if I
overexerted myself and told my wife she called an ambulance. Ambulance
said I was OK but I insisted on going to the hospital where they found
slightly elevated cardiac enzymes and cath lab found and stented the
blockage. Been about 7 years with no further problem.

I've known many with heart attacks and it is usually unpleasant but may
not take long to do you in. Something like an aortic aneurysm and its
over in a minute.

It is never a good idea to work alone and if you live alone something
can happen even if you are able bodied.

Chris father died of a heart condition maybe around 70 a year or two
ago. Mine had a stroke but bad kidneys did him in. My cardiologist
pointed out strokes and blocked arteries are both due to blood vessels
being clogged so if your family had these problems, you might too. I'm
on statins for my problem and two of my sons in their 40's are too to be
on the safe side.

I really felt bad about Chris as he was so young and problem might have
been prevented. Group won't be quite the same without him.

My baby brother is in his mid 50's and as far as I know, he's living alone. I'd been told more than once that we looked alike and I know he put on weight the same as I had. I actually hit around 385lbs at one time then lost some weight and decided to lose some more. I stopped drinking sugar sweetened drinks of any kind and lost 100lbs in 2 months. That was about 20 years ago but the damage from high blood sugar had already been done. The nurse here at the center put me on the scale a few days ago and I'm now 265lbs. I'm getting on an exercise machine in the physical terrorism department 3 times a week and being tortured by a physical terrorist who makes me do things, things that cause a lot of pain. It's a good thing she's adorable and I adore her. I had a heart attack in 2013 and the cardiologists put me to sleep then shocked my heart back into the correct rhythm. The doc told me that my heart hadn't been beating correctly for a very long time and that was the cause of my problem. I was told I needed a pacemaker but was too sick for surgery. The doctors wrote me off and sent me home to die. I was in home hospice care with a nurse visiting 3 times a week but I kept working and my nurse scolded me for it. I refused to give up so I kept working as much as I could. After 6 months my nurse came by the house to inform me that I was being dropped from hospice care because I wasn't dying fast enough. I had actually improved with the care and medications I was getting, about a shovel full a day. I fooled the doctors because all I needed was some care. I'm glad they didn't operate on me. The problem I have now are my torn up knees and shoulders which have me in a wheelchair. I don't have chest pains or shortness of breath or an odd heart beat. At rest, my heart rate is 60bpm or lower. Before the cardiologists worked on me, my heart was beating 100bpm or faster at rest and skipping beats. If anyone out there has a fast heart beat at rest or their heart is skipping beats, go see a doctor! You can check your own pulse and tell if your heart is skipping beats. Get a fraking checkup! o_O

Now this thread is about you? Should I cry now?


From what I've seen, you're trying to make it all about you. I'm having a discussion with some other folks about the importance of paying attention to one's health. Do you have anything to contribute to that conversation or are you just going to have a ****ing contest with Oren? ^_^

Seriously, this rant is about invader-trolls that disparage someone for her point of view...and Oren, with his great engorged ego, chooses to take their side. You, on the other hand, want everyone to feel sorry for you...not this time.
