Author Topic: Former Hyde School students now DECEASED - Total deaths is over 160!!! (Read 37727 times)

survivorami · « **on:** May 29, 2021, 12:37:54 AM »

These are former Hyde students who have passed away since leaving Hyde School (at least, these are the ones that a handful of us are aware of). One of them (James Roman) died at Hyde in the 1980's during a basketball game of a brain aneurysm allegedly caused by a heart condition that he didn't know he had (however, Hyde often dismisses student complaints about physical ailments, and there is tremendous pressure to not complain about them at all - "Suck it up!" is a favorite saying by coaches, proctors, other faculty, and even fellow brainwashed students - a willingness to continue workouts through severe pain, tears, and vomiting is required to be considered 'on-track', so whether James had actually experienced warning symptoms from his condition prior to the incident that caused his death is unknown).

Out of the over 150 former students with a known/specified cause of death:
- Over 35 of them passed away from drug overdose or substance-related complications
- Over 25 confirmed suicides
- Over 20 accidents (land vehicle, boat, hiking, falling, etc.)
- Over 12 listed as "at home", "suddenly" or "unexpectedly" with no other explanation
- About 12 health (assumed non-mental-health-or-substance-use-related) causes (cancer, kidney disease, etc.)
- 2 military deaths
- 2 by homocide
- 1 died during a robbery, exact cause unknown (to us)
- Over 42 are unknown/unspecified

About 153 of them passed between 1999-2021.

111 of them passed at age 30 or under.

It's quite upsetting that for a school who claims to "be with you for life," Hyde and the Gaulds and all the spouses/relatives of the Gaulds (who have run and profited from the school for over 50 years by charging parents a lot of money and offering "help" to their troubled teens) do nothing to publicly acknowledge the passings of the vast majority of these former students on their website or anywhere else.

May they rest in peace.

Correction:
Kevin Jones 21 probably attended Hyde Leadership Charter School in CT.

Regarding above post about the death of 14 year old James Roman that happened at Hyde School on the basketball court:

One of them (James Roman) died at Hyde in the 1980's during a basketball game of a brain aneurysm allegedly caused by a heart condition that he didn't know he had (however, Hyde often dismisses student complaints about physical ailments, and there is tremendous pressure to not complain about them at all - "Suck it up!" is a favorite saying by coaches, proctors, other faculty, and even fellow brainwashed students - a willingness to continue workouts through severe pain, tears, and vomiting is required to be considered 'on-track', so whether James had actually experienced warning symptoms from his condition prior to the incident that caused his death is unknown).

It's confirmed on another thread that James had an enlarged heart.

Well, to be fair, James (after the autopsy) was revealed to have an enlarged heart. According to the medical folks, that pumped too much blood to his brain, which caused the condition. (From here: https://www.fornits.com/phpbb/index.php?topic=22965.15)

From Web MD:

Symptoms of cardiomegaly:

Sometimes, an enlarged heart causes no symptoms. If it becomes unable to pump blood well enough, you may get symptoms of congestive heart failure, such as:

Shortness of breath (especially when active or when lying flat)
Leg swelling
Weight gain, particularly in your midsection
Tired feeling
Palpitations or skipped heartbeats
Some folks may never have symptoms. Others may have little things that don’t change for years. Still others may have shortness of breath that steadily gets a little worse.

Warning signs of a brain aneuryism:
A brain aneurysm that has not ruptured often does not cause any symptoms and may not pose an immediate health risk, especially if the aneurysm is small.

Over time, an aneurysm may grow larger and press up against delicate nerves and tissue in the brain. If this occurs, you may gradually experience one or more of the following symptoms:
-headache
-pain above or behind one eye
-blurred or double vision
-difficulty speaking or swallowing
-numbness or weakness on one side of the body, including the face, an arm or leg
-seizures

Warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest:

Recognizing the warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest is also important. If your child experiences any of the following, he or she should see a pediatric cardiologist for an extensive cardiac evaluation:
-Chest pain or discomfort during physical activity
-Fainting or near fainting without warning or during physical activity
-Seizure without warning or during physical activity
-Excessive fatigue associated with exercise
-They also have Unusually fast heart rate or rhythm with an unknown cause

It's also stated that sometimes a person with an enlarged heart has no symptoms, but sometimes they do. If James did have symptoms and complained, they likely would have been mostly ignored by faculty (as per their standard protocol that I and nearly everyone I know who has gone to Hyde over the span of multiple decades experienced while there), and/or he would have likely felt extreme pressure to not complain about them. Complaining about physical pain, discomfort, and other problematic physical symptoms is treated as a weakness of character. Kids who complain of pain and other physical issues are told that they are lying/exaggerating/making excuses, not putting in effort, "that's bullshit", "suck it up", etc. over and over while being forced to play on extremely demanding sports teams, subjected to brutal punishment workouts, etc. I believe that the only qualified medical personnel ever employed by Hyde School was a registered nurse, or a lower level nurse. A nurse was not available at all times, and they aren't trained to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Children were given no other access to medical resources, short of calling 911 on one of the sparsely placed payphones, or maybe if parents requested, or if a teacher or the med nurse decided to take complaints very very seriously..

The only way to know if James ever complained of symptoms would be to ask his friends/roommates/people who were with him at the time about it (if they would even remember those details). Otherwise we can only wonder. All of this is speculation based on what I know of the place.

James was also supposedly a foster kid so it’s doubtful that he had dependable guardians or parents to complain about symptoms to or to ensure regular and diagnostic checkups! I wonder if Hyde was receiving state funds for james’ tuition since he was in the foster system. So sad how many have died!

just fyi these are people who all went to Hyde School, that's what they have in common - and are passed away. This isn't meant to imply what did or didn't cause their deaths, since there is a plethora of varying reasons and causes. It's not meant to imply that Hyde caused any of them, although there are questions (though only speculation, not proof) about James Roman since he did die AT Hyde. IMO just because Hyde has a basketball tourney every year in his memory doesn't negate that they have an alleged history of not taking medical complaints seriously, and James dropped dead suddenly of a medical condition at just 14. The pattern of so many deaths from such a small place, so young, is pretty concerning. Granted, Hyde did recruit "troubled" kids that imo it often wasn't equipped to truly help, so maybe those kids had higher risk rates for dying young anyway due to their pre-existing issues. But also, don't offer to help to parents that you can't give in any sort of verifiable way. Hyde is trying very hard now to shake their "troubled teen industry" label: https://web.archive.org/web/20240117215751/http://web.archive.org/screenshot/https://www.hyde.edu/about/todays-hyde
