Earlier this month, Kyle Busch asked for a “shot” during a NASCAR Cup Series race at Watkins Glen. He ended up finishing in 8th place in that race. However, he clearly was not feeling well.
A couple of weeks later, Busch, 41, died from complications of pneumonia.
“The medical evaluation provided to the Busch Family concluded that severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications,” the Busch family statement read. “The Family asks for continued understanding and privacy during this difficult time.”
One prominent doctor on social media is arguing that Busch’s tragic death was completely preventable.

Dr. Jesse Morse believes that Busch should’ve been hospitalized following that race earlier in May.
“This was a totally preventable situation. Hindsight is 2020, but ideally when he was calling for help and a ‘shot’ from his doctor two weeks ago. The proper protocol would’ve been to have him admitted to the hospital and get IV antibiotics with proper monitoring. Based on what we have heard, this was not the case, and his medical team allowed him to maintain his strenuous activities despite this ongoing infection that eventually evolved into pneumonia. The fact that he won a race less then a week before he passed away, meaning that he was still actively dealing with this infection, is nothing short of extraordinary. It shows you how good of shape he was in and also the power of the mind,” he argued.

It’s a truly tragic situation.
“Unfortunately, his powerful mind ended up being a double-edged sword, preventing him from getting the proper care he deserved, which unfortunately led to his shocking passing,” he argued.
“Busch died Thursday at age 41. May he Rest in Peace.”
