No way. This is nonsense.

Of course you can.

You can if they missed a heart defect or if there was an asthma attack.

"Natural causes" just means you died of some illness or condition inside your body, such as a heart defect, aneurysm or cancer, and not from some external causes such as a shooting or car accident.

Stroke, too.

A neighbor's kid had one at about age 10-11. He survived, but he had one heck of a recovery.

Cancer, meningitis, asthma . . . There are plenty of natural causes that kill 13 year olds.

Plenty of people are walking around with undiagnosed disorders that can cause sudden death. Yes, children have dropped dead from heart defects and vascular defects they never knew they had. Children have also died suddenly from anaphylaxis or asthma. All of those are natural causes. It's devastatingly sad, but it does happen.

I agree it does not make sense. Some news outlets say he had an anxiety or panic attack!

Well you don't die of anxiety or panic attacks.

Folks people can die young from natural causes. It's rare, but it happens.

The family must be in shock. They may have used the words "natural causes" so people wouldn't assume he committed suicide.

Let them mourn in peace.

Sad that the boy died so young. Is this the family dad did the Christmas Jammies thing?

So, I am aware of the Brataley family because my 10 yo DD subscribed a little over 2 years ago. My DH and I have laughed that the channel is her "reality TV". Anyway, the oldest boy died suddenly this past weekend. It was such a shock! I know it sounds weird, but having that family in the background on an almost daily basis made it so that I (who never watched the channel myself) am actually impacted by his death! I feel sad and keep looking at my kids and thinking "what if today were my last day with them"?

Anyway, it is just a random thing and it is likely that most of you have never heard to this YouTube channel.
