V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Both he and his sister Santita have the DS. It was during the time I worked in Chicago as a radio news reporter... Mid to late 1990's. At one point, he was over 350 pounds, and Santita was pretty close to 300.
I believe at the time they had theirs, the DS was still considered experimental in the US.
SMO due to prednisone for lupus helped me up to my high weight, but sice the weight loss, I can move around much better, but I still have to pace myself.
Unfortunately, lupus and fibromyalgia took me out of my profession, on disability, and I'm working furiously to find another, which is kinder to my body, although, at 54, time is running out for me.

This is information from a former colleague, not published reports. I still have many friends still working as reporters and other media professionals, living all over the world. Triple J has his issues, but so do the rest of us. This is the second time he's been hospitalized, and the first time was purely DS related. Not taking the vites as prescribed, and not eating properly. If you don't feed your body, you don't feed your brain!
There are always gatekeepers with regard to high-profile people.
Media people get what they're given, which is why it is so important for reporters to establish good relationships with sources who may be able to get inside information. That's how "exclusives" on radio and TV news happen. Just like any other business, it's dependent on relationships. Been there, done that!
By the way, nutritional deficiencies can affect you mentally as well a physically, so I was surely not surprised, as I am battling multiple deficiencies myself right now. Cognitive issues (brain fog) going on for me, so I know from whence I speak! Of course, I also have lupus and fibromyalgia to deal with, and both carry "brain fog" issues, as well.
