Very sad and random

Don't take head injuries lightly! If you hit your head hard on something and it feels like it's not getting better always get that checked out. You might be having a brain bleed and those can sometimes be silently deadly.

Must have been a headache to deal with.

The articles Ive read dont specify. Im assuming it was a fall in the shower. A family friend of mine died that way.

It could have been. People on reddit were telling a lot of stories about family members falling in the shower and dying after. Very sad.

Worst thing a person can do if they hit their head is going to sleep.

if it's a concussion, you want to sleep.

Bob didn't know he had a concussion.

The authorities have determined that Bob passed from head trauma. They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep,

I doubt most people are actively aware of concussion protocols, or that they should be in place for every head injury, regardless of perceived severity.

If there is any good that comes out of this, maybe more people will take head injuries more seriously, even the minor ones.
