How Many Children and Young People?

NZDSOS media team

We have obtained coroner’s reports for a number of young people who have died suddenly and unexpectedly in the last few years. We are extremely troubled by what we have read and feel we need to share some details and make commentary.

The following short vignettes are real New Zealanders with brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents and friends whose lives have been forever changed. We have not named them, though they will be recognisable to some.

The information comes directly from New Zealand coroner’s reports which are public documents.

The Dead Kiwi Youngsters

To right thinking people, the following list should shock, horrify and compel the need to get truthful answers. We hope it does. Some of these lawyers may rue the day they put their hands up to be a coroner, being a position with a thousand years of tradition of being in the full public gaze, having a vital sentinel role in the community.

We wonder if the lawyers got a similar ‘guidance statement’ to the doctors in early 2021, disallowing them to find fault with the Covid vaccine?

11-year-old boy, collapsed and died on the way to school

In mid 2024 A was scootering to school and stopped at a friend’s house on the way where he collapsed and died. Post-mortem exam showed an enlarged heart and cause of death is recorded as “cardiomyopathy with hypertrophic features”. It is likely he had a fatal arrhythmia. He was referred to the Cardiac Inherited Diseases Group (CIDG), but results were not included in report.

Coroner van Son noted this was a “natural causes death” with “no suspicious or untoward circumstances”. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of A.

11-year-old girl, collapsed and died

In late 2022, B was away from home with her family when she developed chest pain and palpitations during the night. She also felt unwell and vomited. A short time later she was found collapsed and deceased.

Her cause of death was “undetermined, presumed natural”. B and her family were referred to the CIDG, whose investigations did not identify an overt, cardiac condition that may have resulted in her death. It was thought death was due to an arrhythmic event. (In other words, her heart stopped.)

The cause of death was “natural, with no underlying suspicious circumstances”. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of B in Coroner Kay’s investigation.

11-year-old girl, collapsed and died in hospital a few days later

C was 11 yrs old in late 2023 when she was found unresponsive on the floor of her room during the evening. Resuscitation was commenced and she was transported to hospital where she died a few days later. Her cause of death was documented to be “hypoxic/ischaemic encephalopathy” (brain damage due to lack of blood supply and oxygen) with an antecedent cause of “community cardiac arrhythmia of uncertain aetiology”.

Coroner DJ Luo said this was a “natural causes death” with “no suspicious circumstances”. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of C.

12-year-old girl, collapsed and died after running

In mid 2022 D collapsed after running and died despite resuscitation attempts. Her cause of death was documented as “myocarditis” though the cause of the myocarditis was not ascertained. Coroner Alison Mills noted that the post-mortem examination showed “changes in the heart that can be seen with cardiomyopathies [i.e., a disease of the heart muscle – usually myocarditis] and referred D’s death to the Cardiac Inherited Diseases Group”. The CIDG did not find any known genetic cause.

D died of “natural causes’” and there were “no suspicious circumstances”. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of D. She is not one of the four officially recognised vaccine-related deaths in NZ.

13-year-old girl, found dead in bed

E was found dead in her bed in the morning in early 2024 having been seen alive and well the previous evening. Following a post mortem, the cause of E’s death was identified by Coroner Elliot as “likely sudden cardiac death of unascertained aetiology”. There is no mention that her death was referred to the CIDG.

E died due to “natural causes” and there were “no suspicious circumstances”. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of E.

13-year-old boy, found dead in bed

F was found dead in bed by his parents in late 2021, 10 days after his second Covid jab. His cause of death was “probable sudden cardiac arrhythmia due to acute lymphocytic myocarditis”. This case is different as there was an inquiry, and his vaccine status was in plain view. However Coroner Kay only found that he could not rule out the involvement of the vaccine. We have seen many legal contortions by judges to protect Pfizer, but this one is in the presence of a dead child.

17-year-old girl, found dead in bed

In late 2024 G was found dead in bed while away from home. Her cause of death was ‘unascertained’. She and her family have been referred to the CIDG but no outcome was documented.

Coroner van Son reported, “This is a natural causes death and the cause of death has been established by post-mortem examination.” [That is a curious sentence as there was no cause of death established! And perhaps the coroner could have said more accurately that “the fact of death has been established by post-mortem”. Gallows humour perhaps, but the truth is at stake here]. There were “no suspicious or untoward circumstances surrounding the death”. She had a positive Covid test, however the pathologist could find no evidence that Covid infection caused or contributed to her death. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of G.

18-year-old man, collapsed and died after playing touch rugby
In late 2024 H played touch rugby in the evening after work and collapsed when he came off the playing field. He died at the scene.

Coroner James Buckle’s report records that the cause of H’s death was “sudden cardiac death due to myocarditis (lymphocytic)”. The report states that myocarditis can lead to sudden arrhythmias which is likely what occurred for H. There is no discussion of what caused the myocarditis.

H’s death was from “natural causes” and there were “no suspicious circumstances”. There was no mention of the Covid vaccination status of H. He is not one of the four officially recognised vaccine related deaths in NZ.

25-year-old man, dead in bed

I was fit and healthy, enjoying his life, when he was found dead in his bed by his mother in the middle of the day in late 2021.

His official cause of death is “cardiac hypertrophy” (thickened, enlarged heart) with no particular reason for this determined. Covid vaccination was mentioned by his mother and noted to be within the two weeks prior to his death, though it is not clear if that was the first or second dose.

Despite the histology (microscopic examination of specimen slides) showing abnormalities in the heart – myocyte disarray, interstitial fibrosis and myocyte hypertrophy – which could be entirely consistent with prior myocarditis, the coroner noted “there was no evidence of an acute or chronic inflammatory process i.e., myocarditis”. Coroner Llewell also noted “there were no specific pathological or toxicological findings to support any direct influence or interrelationship between the cause of I’s death and the Covid vaccination”. In our view this is an extremely troubling – if not impossible – finding, given the microscopy findings.

I died of “natural causes” with “no suspicious circumstances”.

Background

A coroner is a lawyer whose job is to determine cause of death and consider the circumstances of death in situations where death is not expected and/or is unexplained. A pathologist is a doctor who does a post-mortem examination and provides a report and evidence to the coroner.

Coroners can do their investigations ‘on the papers’, i.e., in secret by themselves, or they can hold an inquest and hear evidence from a variety of sources in a public forum. The only inquest into a Covid vaccine-related death in NZ we are aware of so far is the case of 26-yr-old Rory Nairn, whose family had to push hard for that to happen.

The Cardiac Inherited Diseases Group (CIDG) may investigate when a person dies suddenly and unexpectedly. They check whether there is an underlying genetic abnormality that might predispose a person to sudden cardiac death.

Although we have not directly communicated with the families of the young people above and don’t know all Covid vaccination statuses for certain, we believe that most, if not all, have received at least one Covid vaccine. These deaths have been signed off by different coroners, but they all use the same wording to state the deaths are due to natural causes and there were no suspicious circumstances. We remain acutely aware that the Coroner’s Amendment Act was passed in early 2023 to enable exactly this eventuality.

We note that the Office of the Chief Coroner signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Health regarding exchange of information in relation to potential Covid deaths (Mar 2020), and later (Dec 2021) deaths following vaccination were included. This MoU is still in place according to an OIA dated 29 January 2026. This should enable coroners to obtain vaccination details in all cases of sudden or unexpected death routinely and easily.

It is our opinion that these deaths have not been investigated sufficiently to state that they are due to ‘natural causes’, as the potential role of Covid vaccination has not been considered. Death due to a novel medical procedure is not ‘natural’. Nor have ‘suspicious circumstances’ been excluded. The use of unethical coercive measures to force people to submit to the injection of a provisionally consented medical product, known to be capable of causing death, should be thoroughly assessed by the legally trained coroners.

These deaths all appear to be heart-related, most likely an abnormal heart rhythm. It is well known and documented that mRNA vaccines can damage hearts. Our contention has long been that the frequency of this is many times greater than acknowledged. In fact, some evidence suggests heart damage is near universal – but without immediate symptoms in many people.

Dr Peter McCullough

Renowned cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough has been blunt in his assessment stating that unexpected death, (usually following or during exercise or during sleep) in covid-vaccinated young people IS DUE TO subclinical myocarditis.

When we see a young person now, who’s previously healthy, no antecedent illness and they suddenly die, and the two patterns are dying in sleep, typically from 3 am to 6 am or dying during sports, and by the way in both of those time periods there is a rise in epinephrine, norepinephrine (adrenaline and noradrenaline), which is probably an internal trigger for this, and there’s no suicide, there’s no drug overdose, there’s no motor vehicle accident, it is the Covid-19 vaccine and subclinical myocarditis until the parents come out or the family comes out and tell us otherwise. And the family, they can clear this up. If they come out and say listen, they didn’t take the vaccine, then OK we’ll lay down our concern. But let’s be conservative and assume right now that these are fatal vaccine-induced myocarditis cases.

Post mortem on the post mortems

It is highly irregular to label deaths as unascertained, undetermined or presumed natural when the deceased has been injected with a medical product known to cause death, even if it was two to three years prior. We have been writing about this to coroners since 2022.

It is not clear how many of these cases have been referred to the Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM) for a formal causality assessment – even then only a few per cent of serious adverse event reports ever got considered for causation by the Independent Safety Monitoring Board, which was wound up in December 2022. If Covid-vaccinated, they should all have been reported to CARM – except that in NZ such reporting is not compulsory for medical staff. In fact many reports to CARM are made by patients or their helpers when the doctors are unwilling. How can we have any idea of the risks if the data is not being gathered?

Prior to Covid, the usual, cautious, sensible approach to pharmacovigilance (safety monitoring of medicines) was to assume a novel medical procedure was responsible for an adverse medical event or death, unless it could be demonstrated that there was a more likely cause. In the current climate, every other stone and pebble, apart from the obvious elephant-sized one, is being turned over to look for any cause that protects the Comirnaty vaccine. The roll-out must go on.

It is possible that each of the families of the above people believes they are the only one this has happened to. We say this very limited list is just the tip of the iceberg. There are thousands of New Zealanders of all ages out there whose lives have been prematurely ended by Covid vaccination – and hundreds of thousands who have been hurt.

What to do?

Our systems are failing us – the doctors, the coroners, the police, Medsafe, the Ministry of Health, our politicians, the wider judiciary and the media. It is up to ordinary, decent New Zealanders who care about the future of this country to make a noise.

It is incumbent on doctors to provide balanced, accurate information, acknowledging where there are uncertainties and when an opinion may differ from the mainstream. We should avoid emotion, judgement and undeserved criticism of our colleagues.

However, after five years of observing awful things happen to people, likely from a dangerous and unethical medical experiment, it is time for all good people – and all doctors – to stand up and be strident, to put pressure first and foremost on those who offered themselves to serve the public.

We MUST NOT allow our children and grandchildren to be killed by medicine, and stand by and say and do nothing. Or we are doomed as a society.

Please speak up, talk about these young people and the many others who have died in similar circumstances, share their stories, ask questions, demand answers. Correct us if we are wrong about their vaccination status.

Publicly Available Coroner’s Reports

Members of the public can ask for coroner’s reports at the following email address as they are publicly available documents: coronial.information@justice.govt.nz
Not every death is referred to a coroner – only those where the cause of death is unknown or if a doctor is not prepared to sign the required paperwork without further investigation.
