Dollars to doughnuts he was “fully vaccinated.”

Tropical fungus?

[dforest]

He was gay, so who knows.

"Breakthrough infection"

Gay. Died of unnamed throat infection. Yuck.

Yeap, the modern interpretation of “Occams Razor” applies here.

First thing I thought of....

Was he gay?

[ClearCase_guy]

Sounds like something may have done a number on his immune system. I have a couple ideas.

"He was gay, so who knows."

Most people didn't die from AIDS. They died from pneumonia, or some other health issue.

"Gay. Died of unnamed throat infection. Yuck."

Remember, it's not who you know. It's who you blow.

Totally guy. Probably put things in his throat that his throat wasn’t designed for.

“Tropical fungus?”

Could be. Could be pneumonia.

You know, I should have figured. Divers are divas.

I was a TCAT (Tarrant County Aquatic Team) back in the early eighties. I swam like a demon. Diving was for the ones who couldn’t and also whom attended ballet classes.

And remember the big ol’ fuss over Greg Louganis.

[JoanSmith]

No one should be doing that.

Per news reports came out as gay in 2014.
Lung infection....Pneumocystis jeroveci....? Seen in immunocompromised patients....probably unnamed cuz publicist didn’t want to reveal cold hard facts of risks of immunocompromised state which are many.
