No cause of death mentioned in the article… likely again the 💉💉💉 https://t.co/5dFPQ2nc9l
"Jamal Edwards, music entrepreneur and YouTube star, dies aged 31 We are losing thousands of young men from heart attacks after vaccines, yet everyone is too frightened to talk about vaccines now because the deaths were planned to happen in 2019," wrote another.
I know nothing about this Jamal Edwards fella, but is it likely to be suicide? Once again, when it's likely it is, it's not mentioned, like it's shameful and doesn't deserve mentioning. It's much more important than hushing it up.

""his cause of death is unclear" Jab? Skull & ocular fractures? Could be suicide or underlining medical issues..." opined a user.
Did Jamal Edwards die because of suicide or the vaccine? 31 is too young. RIP.
