    Christopher Muzykant 29 Died in sleep

    http://mydeathspace.com/article/2007...unknown_causes

    So sad.  I find these unknown causes interesting.  Makes me wanna go searching.  Its so sad.  He seemed like a great guy.  His cousin seemed to rave a bout him in his blogs:

    Another casualty.....
    Current mood:  melancholy

    On Tuesday I was informed that a young girl, who had split from DYC shortly before completion, died of an apparent drug overdose. I looked at her myspace page, which I hadn't done in quite a long time, and was horrified at the transformation that had occurred. She must have been in such a bad place. Although many will hope she's found peace, it makes me so angry to know that peace can be found in THIS life. I see it happen everyday. I'm not that dumb or fucking full of myself that I don't realize that it very easily could have been me. I must admit, it keeps me on my toes. It also makes me fear so much for the people in my life. I fear for my cousins, who if not already, will be faced with the temptations of drinking, pot, sticks, and all the other supposed "low level" drugs that entertained us, and led us all to the things that nearly killed us. I fear for people in my life, both online and in person, that struggle with their own demons. I also fear for every kid at DYC, who each I feel caring for. Along with that fear, I also feel hope, and the strong belief that all of the aforementioned can make the right choices, and reach that "better place" in this life........

    RIP Chris

    This is disturbing.  Man goes to bed doesnt wake up due to apnea.  I wonder if he knew that he had it?  :2sad:

    Agreed that it is kinda scary.  He probably knew something was up but whether it was apnea or not...who knows.  I think my dad has sleep apnea but he won't go in to get it checked out.

    When you stop breathing while sleeping.  I've rarely heard about it causing death but more so just affecting sleep quality.

    I highly doubt it. Most people who have sleep apnea are totally unaware of it. It does have its signs and symptoms though, which are very apparent if you know what to look for. If you stop breathing at night, and then resume with a loud "snort", that is a good indicator of obstructive sleep apnea. Usually, the person who has it is completely unaware of this, however, a spouse or significant other can be very aware of this. Sleep apnea also causes severe daytime drowsiness, where you would be falling asleep any chance you get. This is why sleep apnea is called a "silent killer".

    Loud snoring is often indicative of sleep apnea.

    Re: Christopher Muzykant 29 Died in sleep

    I have sleep apnea, and sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night totally unable to breathe.  It's really fucking scary - I honestly feel like I'm going to die when it happens.  I always go wake up one of my kids when it happens, and they freak out but never call 911.  The breath finally comes back, and then I'm afraid to go back to sleep.  It hasn't happened for over a year now, but I never know when it's going to hit.

    If I stop posting for a couple of weeks, somebody email me to see if I'm still alive.

    Re: Christopher Muzykant 29 Died in sleep

    My oldest brother has sleep apnea pretty bad. He has to sleep hooked up to some kind of machine that sets of a warning alarm if he goes without breathing for too long.
    <br /><br />I guess I&#39;ll never understand.

    That's a pretty severe case.&nbsp; I think I remember reading somewhere that it is more prevalent in men than women and body type plays a factor as well.

    It could be, however, it is only a symptom if the loud snoring also stops for a few seconds, and is resumed with a loud snort, many times in one night. Most people who snore loud do not have sleep apnea.

    Yeah, body type is definitely a factor. It could be caused by problems with the sinuses, the nose (such as a deviated septum), people with certain deformities of the jaw, obesity, and people with a high concentration of fat around the face and neck (which Chris had).
