He literally died in the waiting room in the hospital, he died from a dental abscess that bursted into his bloodstream and went to his brain.
Dude died at age 27, and he wasn’t even part of the 27 club, he was seeking treatment! 😭

Yup, my ex demanded I get treatment for an abscess two years ago, and this year when I was concerned about it, my dentist (who I went to with an emergency) told me it would have developed into an abscess. Instead it was two root canals.
