Reportedly, young Luca suffered from prolonged dizziness, bloody stools, and chills. He lacked energy to finish even the first halves of the matches during the past couple of months, as per the Daily Mail.

During a match, his symptoms were so severe that the club needed to call an ambulance.

His condition worsened once again on February 28 while he was out with a family members. Ambulance was called one again, and while the young football player waited for them to arrive, he called his mother. “Mum, Mum, I can’t do it anymore,” he told his mom.

His mother reported she had heard her son asking one of the nurses if she thought he was going to die.

As per The Sun, while Luca was inside the ambulance, he once again complained that his vision was black.

His mom rushed to the County Hospital in Târgoviște, Romania, but he passed away before she got there. It was Luca’s siter who called her mom and told her of her brother’s passing.

According to the doctors, they tried to save him, but while doing so, his body began to negatively react with his stomach acid which led to drowning.

The club he played for expressed their disbelief and sadness over the loss of Luca.

Man dies for six minutes, revealing what happens after death

I believe that at some point in our lives, most of us wondered what happens after death? Is there afterlife? Are the concepts of heaven and hell real? There are a lot of questions that are left unanswered regarding this controversial topic.

Taking to Reddit, a man shared a story that intrigued many.

According to him, at the time he was still a teenager, 15 years old to be exact, he “died for six minutes” and was taken to heaven. Namely, back in 2003, he simply collapsed on the road before experiencing the spiritual journey that left many stunned.

That day seemed like any other. He was feeling perfectly fine, when suddenly, he experienced a cold sweat, started losing his breath, and suffered ventricular fibrillation, which is an abnormal heart rhythm.

“During my visit, I learned things about our universe that I wish I hadn’t,” the user wrote, as per The Mirror. “It began with light. Blinding, white, pervasive. It bathed me, calmed me. It was everything they tell you about. Beatific, welcoming, the stuff of spiritual experiences.”

All of a sudden, he experienced the feeling of being lifted, and unexpectedly, he found himself in front of the heaven’s gates.

“I arrived in a place without dimension, a place beyond reality. It only made sense while I occupied it. I don’t believe a corporeal being can make sense of the astral plane, something about its intangible existence defies translation.

“So what I came away with were more impressions than images. I was not alone. Several life forces enclosed me upon my arrival. At first, because of my Christian upbringing, I believed them to be angels. In my incorporeal form, I made the spiritually-equivalent gesture of opening my arms, anticipating their embrace,” he said.

“Instead, I felt myself shackled by their powers, like a collared dog. Humiliation and terror came over me. These were not the ethereal beings I’d been led to believe await us. These were cruel, unsympathetic overlords by whom I was fettered.”

The creatures ridiculed the man, telling him the world was sort of a ‘soul-farming’ exercise for a kind of higher being and that upon their passing, the souls of the humans goes to them. The man also claimed they tortured him and told him not to tell anyone about what he had seen.

The six minutes in “heaven” felt like an eternity.

When his heart was restarted and he got back to life, he shared the story with the doctors and his love ones who claimed his vision was a result of trauma and his young age.

However, no matter others tried to convince him his experience was unreal, he knew what he had seen.

The man’s post gathered plenty of comments, with many people sharing their own near-death experiences.

This isn’t the first time someone to claim they have seen heaven.

Turning a new leaf and starting your life over is something not many people have the courage to do. However, a woman named Bethany Provencher isn’t one of those people who are afraid of challenges and new beginnings.

This woman, who is a single mom of an 11-year-old boy, packed all of her belongings and moved to St. Charles, Illinois for a fresh start after 18 years in Miami.

Having worked in the customer service industry for 25 years, she quickly found a job as a server at the local IHOP. She even moved into a new apartment but didn’t have any money to furnish it.

One day, while on the job, she spotted two familiar faces, that of singer-songwriter Donnie Wahlberg and his wife Jenny McCarthy.

Donnie being one of Bethany’s favorite singers, she was happy to be their server. What she didn’t know, however, was that the day would turn even better.

When they finished with their lunch, Donnie and Jenny paid the bill, which was $35.27, and left Bethany a message on the receipt which read, “Thanks, Bethany, Happy New Year. 2020 Tip Challenge,” leaving her a generous tip of $2,020.

They asked her not to open the receipt until they left. Once she got the chance to take a look at it, she noticed the generous tip. Needless to say, Bethany was over the moon.

Kind gestures like this one can certainly make everyone’s day. For more on the story go to the video below.

Eric Braeden of ‘The Young and the Restless’ bad news

By

Eric Braeden, 83, best known for his portrayal of mogul Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless, shared with his fans that he has been diagnosed with cancer recently.

He learned of the devastating diagnosis while recovering from a knee-replacement surgery.

As revealed in his 13-minute Facebook Live session on Friday, Braeden, who is one of the most famous actors in daytime television, experienced prostate issues which turned out to be cancer. “Whilst recuperating from the knee surgery, I began to have problems with my prostate,” he said. “I hate to be this personal, but I think this may be good for some older guys who may or may not listen to this. It’ll happen to them.”

Doctors were able to remove the cancer during a UroLift surgery, a treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the German-born actor had undergone a six-week immunotherapy plan.

“I’m a little under the weather, but not really much,” he revealed. “I’ve learned now to listen to my body more and not go all out. I’m gonna get it. And I’ll be in top form again soon.

“I will lick this,” Braeden continued. “This bastard ain’t going to get me; I’m going to get it.”

As for his role on The Young and the Restless, which he has held for over four decades, Braeden said it’s what keeps him going. “So that’s where I am right now,” he said. “I love acting, I entertain people. I love your support. So, whenever you have someone in the family who goes through this, support them. It can work out. Nowadays, there is so much advancement in cancer treatment, you can survive it.”

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Braeden explained that acting distracts him from the health issues and that he’s happy when he knows he entertains people.

When he first landed the role in the series, his character was supposed to be a guest character who was to last for eight to twelve weeks, but he has evolved into the soap opera’s leading male figure.

Most recently, he announced he’s cancer free, but he also opened up about the topic of retirement as he celebrated 45 years of being part of the show.

Speaking to TV Insider, the actor said, “You can’t really define someone’s success in this business. It’s a marriage of the right role, the right time, on the right network, surrounded by the right people. It’s serendipitous, really.”

Asked if he plans to retire any time soon, he firmly said “No.”

Sadly, Eric Braeden lost his home during the LA wildfires.

“It’s been kind of peculiar,” he told the publication. “Emotionally, you go through ups and downs, but we shall take it step by step. There are uncertainties regarding insurance, and it’s a very difficult situation. When I saw the ashes, I looked into the rubble and remembered my wife and my granddaughter, who we adore, sitting there before Christmas and having a wonderful conversation about her experiences and her travels. But you’re never really fully prepared for the unforeseen events in life. I grew up during the Second World War, and that was arguably worse, so some of me is optimistic. You just look forward. S***w it all.”

Multiple people injured as plane crashes in suburban Pennsylvania

Emergency services responded to a call and rushed to Manheim Township in Lancaster County, in suburban Pennsylvania, after a small plane crashed into a parking lot, leaving multiple people injured.

As per the Daily Mail, after hitting the lined cars, the plane erupted in flames. The vehicles at the parking lot also burst into flames, between Fairview Drive and Meadowview Court.

The plane, believed to be a Beechcraft A36TC model as seen from the footage and photos of the wreckage, took off on Sunday afternoon as scheduled but requested to land due to an open door.

Via the Mirror

Audio from the air traffic control showed the pilot asking the ground agents to turn around, and at one point, he noted that the strong wind coming from the open hatch made the radio inaudible.

“Pull up… the aircraft is down just behind the terminal in the parking lot tree area,” the air traffic controller replied.

According to AP, a total of five people were on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania state governor Governor Josh Shapiro said on X: “PA State Police is on the ground assisting local first responders following the small private plane crash near Lancaster Airport in Manheim Township.

“All Commonwealth resources are available as the response continues, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.”

According to reports, multiple people suffered burns.

The Pennsylvania plane accident is another one in the series of airplane crashes that happened during the last several months.

In January – in what was dubbed the deadliest plane crash on recent years – 67 people lost their lives after an American Airlines aircraft collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter.

Shortly after, a medical jet carrying a family, including a young girl receiving a life-saving treatment – crashed on its way to Mexico from the USA, leading to the death of all six people aboard the plane.

Gas company releases statement following extensive investigation at the home of Gene Hackman

The deaths of two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their family dog remain a mystery. The investigation regarding their passing revealed that the couple and their pet had been dead for some time before they were found.

They initially believed that the cause of death was due to gas leak and possible poisoning with carbon monoxide.

As of now, it was reported that the New Mexico Gas Company concluded its inspection at the home where Gene Hackman and Arakawa resided located at 1425 Old Sunset Trail. The company said in a statement that they had done thorough inspection of the residence for both gas leak and any presence of carbon monoxide and shared their findings with the authorities on March 5.

Inspectors didn’t detect life-threatening hazards but they did mark several red tags. One involved a small gas leak from a stove burner, with gas levels measuring 0.33 percent in the air – amount considered non-lethal by industry standards. The rest of the concerns were related to regulatory issues with the water heater and gas log lighters in the fireplaces.

Following the report, authorities said neither of these issues could be the reason that led to Hackman-Arakawa’s deaths. 

Social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the findings of the Gas Company that inspected the home of Gene Hackman. 

“A tiny leak is enough to kill,” someone wrote. “A minuscule leak is still a leak discharging poisonous deadly gas. And continuously will fill the entire house 😱,” another added.

A post shared by Daily Mail (@dailymail)

The New York Post shared on Friday that prior to his passing, Hackman “was in very poor health,” citing New Mexico Chief Medical Examiner Heather Jarrell.

According to Jarell, the Hollywood icon died of hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s roughly a week after his wife’s passing. 

“Examination of the brain showed advanced Alzheimer’s disease as well as blood vessel changes in the brain,” Jarrell said during the press conference, as per New York Post. 

“It is reasonable to conclude that Mr. Hackman died on February 18,” she continued, based on evidence of a “cardiac event” recorded by his pacemaker.

Further, the medical examiner explained the autopsy and full body post-mortem CT examination showed the actor had “severe heart disease,” and a history of heart disease. Also, the autopsy revealed Hackman had severe changes of the kidneys due to chronic high blood pressure,” and had undergone “multiple surgical procedures involving the heart.”

Regarding Betsy Arakawa, Page Six reported she died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a rare rodent-transmitted virus. The cause of death was natural.

Knowing his mental state, it was possible Hackman wasn’t aware his wife was dead.

What parents need to know about ‘Bigorexia’

By
Monica Pop
-

Many times, societies set expectations about what being beautiful is, leading to many question their physical appearance and feeling the urge to change it in order to conform to the norms.

However, while body image has been associated with women only in the past, nowadays it affects males as much.

Bigorexia, or muscular dysmorphia, affects hundreds of thousands of men out there.

It is a disorder that shares similarities with anorexia in terms of being obsessed with the body image. However, while a person suffering from anorexia tries to keep their weight as low as possible, those diagnosed with bigorexia are obsessed with becoming muscular, convincing themselves they are never brawny enough.

However, “Unlike anorexia nervosa, which may be easily identified by parents or pediatricians, disordered eating to increase bulk may masquerade as healthy habits and because of this, it tends to go unnoticed,” says Jason Nagata, MD, of the UCSF Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine.

Experts believe that this disorder is partially a result of the influence of social media influencers who try to portray themselves as embodying an unrealistic, hyper-masculine ideal. This lead many people, especially men, to feel dissatisfied with their bodies and seek the perfection they see in the magazines and on social media sites.

Kara Becker, a certified eating disorder therapist and national director of eating disorder programs at Newport Healthcare, defines bigorexia as “a psychological condition and type of body dysmorphic disorder which involves a distorted self-image that focuses specifically on muscle size and physical appearance.”

Clinical psychologist Amy Gooding explains that “individuals may have an inaccurate view of their bodies, often believing they are smaller or less muscular. This belief and subsequent preoccupation can lead to unhealthy behaviors, including obsessive exercise, and may lead to changing one’s eating to be as lean as possible.”

The term muscular dysmorphia was first coined around 1997.

However, experts agree that further research needs to be done in order to learn how bigorexia develops and how it should be treated.

While some experts believe it should be treated as an eating disorder, just like the anorexia, others say it is in fact a behavioral addiction or a type of body dysmorphic disorder.

Certain factors that can lead to this disorder are history of being bu****d, loneliness, unhealthy views about masculinity, low self-esteem, and the above mentioned influence of the social media.
