List of those dying ‘suddenly’ and ‘unexpectedly’ continues to grow

A 35-year-old former Wilmington, Delaware city council member, a 7-year-old schoolboy in South Africa, and a woman who collapsed 15 minutes after getting her Covid booster are among the latest to die “suddenly” and “unexpectedly,” according to reports.

Former Wilmington City Councilwoman Rysheema Dixon died “unexpectedly” at age 35.

Her death was confirmed on Friday by the City of Wilmington and Dixon’s business RD Innovative Solutions of which she was CEO and founder.
None of the local reports lists a cause of death.

Dixon resigned in December 2021 after five years on the Wilmington council, saying she wanted to focus more time on her role as president of RD Innovating Planning, which she started while earning her master’s degree from the University of Delaware.
