LSU Coastal Scientist Dies At 54

LSU Coastal Scientist Dies At 54

The LSU community is reeling after the sudden death Thursday of prominent LSU coastal scientist Gregory Stone.

Stone, who was quoted extensively in many publications internationally after last year's BP oil leak, was the director of the reknowned Wave-Current Information System.

The system is used by many fisherman and scientists to monitor wind, waves and currents off the Louisiana coast.

This may be another story to keep an eye on folks.

Another "researcher" dieing of an "unknown illness".

Could turn out to be something explainable, but could this also be in relation to the BP oil spill research? Perhaps someone else may be more familiar with this researcher's background and work, and can shed further light.

One thing is for certain, MANY of the folks involved with the BP spill have been diagnosed with strange illnesses and skin problems, and I suspect we have only seen the beginning of what's to come...

I am still wondering about the effects of the corexit they sprayed on the oil.
Correlation to bird deaths?
people being there on the coast and on the ocean all the time?
How many more unreported deaths are there is what I wonder.

I'd worry about births also..
This things usually show up as birth defects years down the track..
Scary thought...

Today's paper had two different groups reporting the continued existence of oil on the Gulf floor and dead marine life. One article even discussed the methane pumped into the Gulf. All I can say is that I have not been in the Gulf since before the oil spill and it will be a long time until I do. I also do not eat any Gulf seafood. Paranoid ? Maybe, or maybe smart enough to be reading ATS and to not trust government statements of safety !

I have chosen also to not eat shrimp, lobster, clams,or oysters..... bottom feeders
I am just very skeptical about its safety now.

Well, I have to say that we have eaten gulf shrimp several times, had some just last Sunday. They were delicious. I haven't started growing an extra head or anything... YET!! lol

ETA: My husband has bought oysters like 5 times since January and they are delicious too! I do sincerely hope that there will be no long-term consequences. We have to buy our local seafood 'cause so much of our states economy depends on it!

In 2010 Scientist Stone had issues related to working with/for BP. See the link below:
