North Carolina Mom warns football players after her son died from heart condition from Vaping
Solomon Wynn’s Stepmother Charlene Zorn has a strong message for all healthy athletes that want to vape.
According to Zorn, her 15-year-old healthy son who was obsessed with football began vaping and developed a heart condition in months and killed him.
She now claims that vaping devices are responsible for his death. Zorn slammed the manufacturers of the devices for their tragic effect on her stepson, adding:
‘People think that we’re exaggerating or, ‘Oh, this can’t happen to my kid.’
‘The vapes have all sorts of metals in them. They have strong nicotine in them that it affects the lungs, it turns them into — they call it popcorn lungs.’
The death rate among kids vaping is very low, yes, but the rate of kids ending up in the hospital and the kids getting sick is on the increase, not the decrease.
After doctors initially diagnosed him with bronchitis, Wynn was given prescriptions for antibiotics, steroids and inhalers, which did nothing to help. Further tests, including X-rays of Solomon’s lungs, revealed the damage vaping had done.
The football-obsessed teen collapsed on June 16 and died the next day, and Zorn said she urged his teammates to stop vaping when they attended his funeral.
The family had to remove him from a ventilator just months after he began suffering from a bad cough.
Please keep the family of Solomon in your prayers during this tough time.
