| I just caught a short highlight on the news that stated a Canadian English teacher was found dead early this morning in Jeju City. Anyone have any further information? |

I don't know if he's Canadian, but a great guy named Jay just passed away. I had only met him once, but he seemed like a wonderful person and his friends are definitely already missing him. From the message I got, it was a heart attack, but I'm not sure of that.
RIP, Jay.

It's been a couple of years since my last trip to America, but I don't recall half the people there being that heavy. |

The Notorious Fan Death
There are several reasons given as to how a fan can kill (other than using it to bludgeon someone to death).
* It is believed that an electric fan creates a vortex, which sucks the oxygen from the enclosed and sealed room and creates a partial vacuum inside.
* The fan uses up the oxygen in the room and creates fatal levels of carbon dioxide.
* If the fan is put directly in front of the face of the sleeping person, it will suck all the air away, preventing one from breathing.
* Fans can cause hypothermia. As the metabolism slows down at night, one becomes more sensitive to temperature, and more prone to hypothermia. In other words, if the fan is left on all night in a sealed and enclosed room, it will lower the temperature of the room to the point that it can cause hypothermia.
* Often, it is claimed that a combination of these factors is responsible. For example, it might be explained that the fan lowers the oxygen level in the room while raising carbon dioxide levels, which could prove fatal to a sleeping person already weakened by hypothermia.
I'd have to see it to believe it.  |

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but did the school all of a sudden claim "He had health insurance! He had health insurance!" |
