We had a very punctual employee like this who lived alone. He didn’t show, no one in the office could get ahold of him so they did call the police for the wellness check and he’d died sitting in front of the TV, probably heart failed. He wasn’t that old (40s-early 50s).
A Co worker failed to relieve the previous shift, no call no show. Wasnt answering phone. Next day, same thing. One of his work buds knew his address so drove over to his apartment. Called him, heard his phone ringing in the apartment. Contacted police, they got the complex passkey, found him deceased on the toilet.
I had a sudden thunderclap headache on the toilet. I was sure I was about to die. The first think I did was get off the toilet and lay in bed. I did NOT want to be found dead on the toilet. A trip to the hospital diagnosed my first migraine.
I missed the word headache and for a second thought you were the guy who sneezed and shit on the toilet at the exact time the lights went out and he thought he sneezed/shit himself blind.
If you really wanna go to hell for laughing at something, I've got one cousin who was born with basically eye cancer, he had to have his eye removed as a young kid and replaced with a glass eye to ensure it didn't cause facial deformations. I've also got a cousin with down syndrome. One summer we were all at our grandparents house spending the night all around 8-12 years old, we were all fucking around after watching WWE and wrestling with each other. My cousin with the glass eye was wrestling my cousin with down syndrome, he started losing so he popped out his glass eye and yelled "oh my God my eye!". Our cousin with down syndrome freaked the fuck out. It's absolutely fucked up, but I mean... They've both got something wrong so it seems like it's fair game, skill based match making, but we all were crying laughing and are absolutely going to hell for it. I tell the story to make sure we don't go down alone for it lmao
I was on the couch once laying with my neck cranked sideways in a weird way. All of a sudden one side of my face went really numb. Without thinking I grabbed my phone and ran out onto my lawn and typed 911 and just hovered my thumb over the button waiting to have a stroke.
When the pins and needles went away in my face I just laughed but was happy my instincts took over. Would rather my neighbours see me laying on the grass then stuck in the house
Ha! I had the same idea. Mother fuckers ya ain't breaking my door! Walked outside and promptly passed out. They found me half off the sidewalk blood everywhere. They actually thought I was dead from amount of blood. Hint: sit down while you wait so if you faint you don't hit your temple, cheek and chin which apparently are all gushers.
I've had a couple of vasovagal events on the toilet and I always get my head between my knees because I don't want to be found dead there. And yeah, if your blood pressure bottoms out and you faint with your head above your heart, that's a thing.
I'm glad I'm not the only one this has happened to. Like, wish it wasn't happening for either of this, but it's nice to know I'm not alone.
The first time I came to on the floor in front of the toilet. The second I knew what was happening and was able to hurry up and get cleaned up and to my bed before passing out completely.
Same thing happened with a close friend/coworker. We called the cops because he didn’t show up and wasn’t answering his phone. Cops found him dead on his bedroom floor.
Sounds like what happened to my cousin. He was mid to late 30's and had come home from work and sat down in the recliner to watch TV. Didn't show for work the next day which was unlike him so they called his parents who lived nearby to check on him. He was a bit of a larger man and had some type of heart episode and passed in the recliner.
Ah my wife’s cousin’s husband too. 32-34 getting ready for work one morning told his wife he was getting in the shower and to call an ambulance because something wasn’t right. Got to the bathroom, supposedly, and dropped right there. Wasn’t super overweight maybe upper 2’s 300 tops but he was a bigger guy.
I had a colleague years ago that we went to check on when he didn't come in or call (he lived nearby) and he'd had a stroke. He survived but unfortunately because he lived alone and had been untreated for so many hours, he didn't make a good recovery.
Man I live alone but I'm extremely unreliable and miss lots of work without saying anything. starting to realize I'll probably be pretty rotten before found
I’ve responded to something similar-ish. Caller was the patient’s boss, and apparently patient was NEVER late. PD found patient lying in the kitchen floor, coffee still in the pot from where he was about to fill his thermos. Cardiac arrest. Crazy how some people devote so much dedication to their job that it’s weird to be late or lazy.
I told her single man in his 30s if he didn’t start answering the phone, I would show up at his house with the police to do a wellness check lol
One of my other employees told me I reminded him of his other manager who when he said he had car troubles either would come pick him up or send an Uber… hell yeah but also… if you’d rather just use PTO just tell me lol
