While the stress of planning a wedding can be overwhelming, it can easily be forgotten once you see your vision come to life on your wedding day. Even though Shaw never got to enjoy the retirement he worked so hard for, he truly upheld his oath, trying to counsel and help those who had strayed off the beaten path. His wife had to make a heart-wrenching decision to take him off life support after realizing his brain function hadn’t changed. While EMTs were able to restart his heart, he had been without oxygen for too long and was placed on life support in the hospital. Shaw suffered a heart attack on his way home from work and was found unresponsive in his car. He had given others the best years of his life, but on his last day of work before retirement, tragedy struck. It truly was a way of life for Stan Shaw, who dedicated 50 years to serving his community as a police officer. “To protect and serve” wasn’t just a simple motto to one law enforcement officer. Even more devastating was the fact that the first time Kalen’s mother was able to see her in her prom dress was when she went to the coroner’s office. The tragic loss of life taken that day left a lingering impact on all the students who knew and loved them. A 17-year-old driver, who was also their classmate, t-boned them in an intersection. Kalen Hart was a senior at Hamilton Heights High School in Indiana and was on the way to prom with her date Lendon Byram when they were involved in a car accident that took their lives. Unfortunately, Kalen Hart and Lendon Byram never got the chance to experience that moment. įinding the perfect dress, planning each moment of the night with your date, anxiously awaiting the results of prom court votes… the senior prom is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. After the accident, Crawford also suffered a heart attack after witnessing this tragic event. The company owner, Jon Crawford, tried to use the kill switch and put the machine in reverse, but it was too late. He kicked a tree branch that had jammed the woodchipper but was pulled inside the machine. Mason was working for Crawford Tree Service as a tree trimmer. Unfortunately, nineteen-year-old Mason Cox’s first day of work turned into a tragic event that left his family and the entire company he worked for shaken. Your first job and the first day of work are filled with so many emotions-the excitement of becoming an “adult,” the nervousness of wanting to be a good employee, and the anticipation of your first paycheck. McCarthy was deported back to Ireland, and Rehma’s case never went before a judge. McCarthy spent two years in jail, but just a few weeks before the case was set to go to trial, the medical examiner reversed her decision due to inconclusive findings. Her death was ruled a homicide, and her nanny was the prime suspect. The autopsy report initially revealed that Rehma died from blunt force injuries and abusive head trauma-shaken baby syndrome. Later, bleeding inside her brain, behind her eyes, bruising on her skull and spine, and healing fractures were all found. She arrived at the emergency room in a coma. Rehma could not be woken up and was unresponsive. However, when Rehma’s grandparents came to see her around 4:30 in the afternoon, and she was still sleeping, they knew something was terribly wrong. Rehma had been left in the care of her nanny, Aisling McCarthy, that day. Rehma Sabir experienced the same first birthday magic, but she took her last breath just a few days later, on January 14, 2013, her actual birthday. Smashed cakes, overwhelming amounts of gifts, surrounded by family and friends-celebrating a child’s first birthday is something magical.
