"Also happened to his teammate" - Vince Iwuchukwu incident explored as Bronny James 911 call details pique fans' curiosity online

Bronny James' cardiac arrest made a lot of people question why it happened to such a young athlete. Fans online became even more curious when the 911 call details on the incident were leaked online. Some even recalled that James' USC teammate Vince Iwuchukwu also had a cardiac arrest last year.

In a statement released by LeBron and Savannah James on Tuesday, they thanked the trainers at USC and medical personnel at the hospital for helping save their eldest son.

It helped that the university is among the top cardiology schools in the country and have well-trained personnel on the team present in the gym when the incident happened.

Bronny's incident on Monday morning was also not their first time dealing with a basketball player who had a cardiac arrest. Iwuchukwu had a cardiac arrest in July, which was only made public in September. He made a full recovery and was cleared to return to the team in January.

With two cardiac arrest-related incidents on campus in a span of one year, fans online were starting to question why it happened. Were the two cases related?

With all the conspiracy theories surrounding heart disease and the COVID-19 vaccine, some fans are starting to wonder, especially after the 911 call was leaked online.

One fan is baffled why it happened to two USC athletes if it was so rare:

"So this 'rare' event also happened to his team mate?!"

One fan also has the same question:

"If two players on the same basketball team get the same vaccine side effect, can it be described as rare?"

One fan suggests reviewing CPR to help save lives:

"Time to get a defibrillator and review cpr steps."
