My Family Tragedy: Passing of Showbizrn's Brother

[showbizrn]

I share my family loss with the Allnurses.com community for guidance and insight.

My brother died alone in his apartment.

No one called 911.

The day before

a neighbor heard him moaning

all day in his aprtment.

Why didn't she call 911?

The super called to him

under his door.

He never came to the door.

Why didn't she call 911?

Why didn't they call 911?

Every one has their time

to leave this life.

My family and I question the circumstances

surrounding my brother's death

and pray that he has moved on

to the next level.

Sincerely and Blessings,

From the Family and friends of SHOWBIZRN.

Sorry for the loss whoever the person is, it is sad to think this person died alone.

i am so sorry, showbizrn. i will see you, brother, in that great facility in the sky where we will all work together with the perfect nurse-to-patient ratio ....

To the family of showbiz.....I am so sorry for your loss, and I'm so sorry that he died alone. We are somewhat of a family here on AN and it hurts to lose one of our own, though our pain does not hold a candle to your own. So I (we) send gentle hugs, prayers for peace, and hope that showbiz has found peace as well.

Peace, and God's grace, be with you.

I am really confused about this post. At first I thought the OP was speaking of their brother. Then I took it to mean a family member was posting under ShowbizRN account to say "he" died.

But when I went ShowbizRN profile to look at past posts made, ShowbizRN is a women. Has made posts referencing past gyn surgery and being married to a woman and much more to confirm that ShowbizRN is a woman, not a man as stated in the original post saying "he" died.

Does anyone know more about this? Seems strange to me. I am not trying to insensitive just trying to make sense.

Noticed the same thing and am confused as you are.

Yes...this is a post, as I see it, from showbiz's family, I get this from the signature:

Sincerely and Blessings,

From the Family and friends of SHOWBIZRN.

The family must of signed on as showbizrn to post the passing of him/her?? Still confused on that side of it.

I lost my brother almost in the same way, found him in his apartment trying to get to his bed.

What I am commenting on is that if you go to Showbizrn profile and read past posts, showbiz is a WOMAN! The Op is stating they are a family member and showbiz-their brother has died.In showbiz posts-SHE is a WOMEN.

Also when reading past posts BY showbiz, the style of writing is the same as in the original post on this thread. I am not the only one wondering about this, some of us have been PMing because something seems not right.
