That must have been some humming sound system. I wonder if it was the valve system? Well if I had to choose a way to go, this would be it, no disrespect. RIP Tom Reid - he was only a young lad too.

:( Such a shame, never knew there was such a disorder. Just one of those things. How life is there one minute and taken away the next.

In your location it says next to the speakers, stand a bit closer and put the bass on full. For scientific reasons.

I'm a man, I can take it and survive. Tried and tested on the valve sound system :)

At the end of the day, the kid had an unknown heart condition/illness which led to the failure of his heart. Standing infront of the speakers for most people probably wouldn't have much ill effect apart from a headache.

Oh ffs


There was no trace of alcohol or drugs in his body and his heart was in good condition.

A coroner recorded a verdict of natural causes, saying the straight-As student was killed by sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), a heart disorder which kills 12 young people a week.

Can anyone spot the crap reporting there?

[edit] Hang on, isn't there a Tom Reid member on here?!

I have titinitus from machinery at work (all of which were below the legal limits set by the HSE), so I don't really like loud music (although I do like screaming, howling 2 stroke motorbikes for some reason)

I THINK its to do with the electronic pulses that cause your heart to beat, something just triggers that to start not working right/at all, making your heart stop/beat abnormally. So your heart would LOOK normal/be in fine condition.....??

What was he listening to mowgli?

modern dance music........................

seriously loud pumping noise... at work I have to obey sound level rules, but young people are going deaf because of loud music in clubs & they aren't really aware its happening till its too late. we had a lad who did some work for us... he had £3.5k of ICE in his car, and enjoyed sound offs etc. he was also deaf as a post at normal sound levels. if I asked him to do something involving a measurement, i would have to re-do it, until i twigged & just kept passing him notes of the measurements
