Original Note:
Barry literally cites an article that says they are relatively common. https://www.cidg.org.nz/patients-families/information-in-case-of-sudden-death/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27857240/ As for his claims regarding sports, this is simply frequency illusion. https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-frequency-illusion Deaths amongst athletes are not new or beyond background rates. https://www.npr.org/2008/01/09/17971296/when-sudden-death-strikes-athletes https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4969030/ https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/2/80 https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2023/11/13/instances-of-cardiac-death-in-college-athletes-have-declined-over-20-years/?sh=5cd3d5f22829
