Why Young People Die Suddenly

What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, death investigator, and host of Pushing Up Lilies. Today we're taking a sobering look at the growing number of sudden and unexpected deaths among young people. With years of firsthand experience in the field, I share what I've seen behind the scenes, from vibrant teens and 20-somethings whose lives ended without warning, to families left devastated and searching for answers. We dive into the causes no one likes to talk about, fentanyl-laced pills, silent suicides, even seemingly harmless illnesses like a cold that turns deadly. Why is this happening more often? What signs are being missed? And how can we start asking the right questions before it’s too late? Join me for a heartfelt, unflinching conversation that shines a light on this troubling trend, and reminds us how precious life truly is. * Listener discretion is advised.
