Isaiah Washington Breaks Silence on Wife Jenisa’s Tragic Death New

Isaiah Washington Breaks Silence on Wife Jenisa’s Tragic Death

Published 12:23 5 Oct 2026 GMT+1The actor said his wife had been a very 'private' person, so he had kept the news to himself until nowIsaiah Washington has broken his silence on the death of his wife of 29 years, Jenisa, after her sudden death last year. The former Grey’s Anatomy star, 63, shared the heartbreaking news on social media more than a year after his wife’s death, explaining that he had kept the loss private because Jenisa was fiercely protective of her personal life.Jenisa, who had been married to Washington for almost 30 years, collapsed suddenly on May 31, 2025. She died nine days later, on June 9, aged 56.AdvertThe actor said the death had been an 'enormous shock' to everyone..“Yes…the rumors are true. My dear wife of 29 years collapsed suddenly on May 31, 2025 and passed away on June 9, 2025. It came as a huge shock to me and our entire family,” Washington wrote in an Instagram post on October 3.The Grey's Anatomy star shared the heartbreaking family news with fans (Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images)“She succumbed to a massive hemorrhagic stroke and never recovered.”Washington, who shares three children with Jenisa, said he had chosen not to announce her death at the time because she was a private person.His decision to speak publicly now appears to have come partly in response to speculation about his family, but his message was also an emotional tribute to the woman he had spent nearly three decades with.He urged people not to dismiss severe or unusual headaches, drawing on the devastating experience his family had been through.“Listen, y’all…some headaches are not just headaches or migraines, they can be much worse and a warning sign,” he urged.The star added: “Get a brain scan if you can and take those headaches seriously.”Washington said that their three children are continuing her legacy.He also acknowledged the unusual circumstances of making such a personal announcement so long after his wife’s death.“I don’t know if this is an appropriate post, because Jenisa Washington was extremely private, but I guess I just have to be reprimanded from her on the other side.”The post prompted an outpouring of sympathy from friends and fellow actors. Grey’s Anatomy star Viola Davis was among those who offered her condolences, while Debi Mazar also sent a message of support to Washington and his family.A haemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding.

Warning signs of a stroke can appear suddenly and include facial weakness, weakness or numbness in an arm, problems with speech, dizziness, vision problems and a severe headache.In the case of a subarachnoid haemorrhage, the NHS says the main symptom can be an extremely painful headache that starts suddenly and does not go away. Other symptoms can include vomiting, confusion, fainting, seizures and weakness on one side of the body. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should call 999 immediately.Washington is best known for playing cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Preston Burke on Grey’s Anatomy, joining the hit medical drama when it launched in 2005. He left the series in 2007.Featured Image Credit: Tibrina Hobson/Getty Images/Frank OckenfelsTopics: TV And Film, Entertainment, Health

Why Plague Symptoms Are in Focus After Siberian Researcher’s Death New

Why Plague Symptoms Are in Focus After Siberian Researcher’s Death

Updated 15:54 5 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 15:51 5 Oct 2026 GMT+1The researcher was said to have died of 'pneumonia of unknown aetiology' but worked in a lab which tested plaguesNearly 200 people have reportedly been placed under medical observation in Siberia following the death of a laboratory researcher who developed severe pneumonia, amid concern that she may have been exposed t plague.The woman, named in reports as 28-year-old Darya Shipilova, worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute in Russia.Her death has prompted extensive precautions in the region, although as yet Russian authorities haven’t confirmed claims that she contracted pneumonic plague.Shipilova was diagnosed with ‘pneumonia of unknown aetiology’, according to Russia’s public health watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, reports The Guardian.AdvertThe organisation has said additional testing did not detect microorganisms associated with her professional work.It has been alleged that Shipilova may have been exposed to Yersinia pestis, the bacterium responsible for plague, following an accident involving a test tube at the laboratory.The young researcher worked in a laboratory which tested plague samples (Getty Stock)The hospital where she was treated was placed under quarantine, while people believed to have had contact with her have been monitored as a precaution.Officials have said the situation remains stable.Plague symptomsPneumonic plague, while now rare, can become extremely serious very quickly.Plague is a bacterial infection caused by Yersinia pestis.The bacteria are generally found in small mammals and their fleas, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).There are several forms of the illness, with symptoms varying according to how the infection develops.Symptoms of plague can include:Sudden fever and chillsHeadache and body achesWeakness or extreme tirednessNausea and vomitingPainful, swollen lymph nodes, known as “buboes”Abdominal painShortness of breathChest painCoughingBloody or watery mucusBleeding into the skin or other organs in cases of septicaemic plagueBlackening and death of tissue, particularly on the fingers, toes and nose, in severe septicaemic casesHundreds of people have now been quarantined (Getty Stock)Pneumonic plague affects the lungs, and person-to-person transmission is possible.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says patients can develop ‘rapidly developing pneumonia’ accompanied by shortness of breath, chest pain and coughing.Some people may produce bloody or watery mucus.Symptoms of pneumonic plague can develop particularly quickly.The WHO says plague symptoms generally appear between one and seven days after infection, but pneumonic plague can develop in as little as 24 hours.The good news is, despite its frightening historical reputation, plague is treatable with modern antibiotics.Early diagnosis is particularly important, however, because pneumonic and septicaemic forms can progress rapidly without treatment.The WHO says antibiotic treatment is effective against the bacteria and that early diagnosis and treatment can save lives.Health officials may also use preventive antibiotics for people who have had close contact with someone suspected of having pneumonic plague.This is because the infection can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, although prolonged close contact is generally required.Plague is now uncommon worldwide and bears little resemblance to the uncontrolled outbreaks associated with the disease historically.There is currently no indication that people outside those potentially exposed in Siberia need to take special precautions because of the incident.Anyone who has had a credible exposure to plague and develops sudden fever, chills, swollen and painful lymph nodes, or respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and coughing should seek urgent medical assistance.Featured Image Credit: NDTVTopics: Health, Russia, World News

Joseph Vasquez, 13, Faces Rare Crisis After Mosquito Bites New

Joseph Vasquez, 13, Faces Rare Crisis After Mosquito Bites

See more of our coverage in your search results. A California boy who was once a healthy, soccer-loving teenager is now fighting to regain the use of his legs after a seemingly harmless mosquito bite triggered a devastating medical nightmare. Joseph Vasquez, 13, of Long Beach, has been bedridden at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for three weeks after contracting West Nile virus and developing transverse myelitis, a rare neurological condition that causes severe inflammation of the spinal cord, according to a GoFundMe launched by his family.The frightening ordeal began with what appeared to be ordinary mosquito bites but quickly spiraled into a life-altering medical crisis.Joseph Vasquez, a 13-year-old boy from Long Beach, remains hospitalized at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. GofundmeJoseph initially developed a full-body rash, mild headache, leg pain and low-grade fever. But his symptoms rapidly worsened, eventually leaving him unable to move either leg.The teen also experienced excruciating abdominal pain, a stiff neck and loss of bladder and bowel control as his condition deteriorated.Doctors initially diagnosed Joseph with transverse myelitis and began treating him with steroids. After days in intensive care and extensive testing, they determined that West Nile virus was behind the devastating complications.Now, the boy who once spent his days playing soccer, hanging out with his cousins and cheering on the Dodgers, Raiders and Lakers is facing an uncertain road to recovery.“Today, Joseph is facing challenges no 13-year-old should ever have to face,” his family wrote on the fundraiser. “He has lost the use of his legs, loss of bladder and bowel control, and is in excruciating nerve pain from the lower back down to his feet.”Joseph Vasquez has been diagnosed with transverse myelitis, a rare neurological condition linked to the West Nile virus. Courtesy of the Vasques FamilyThe family said doctors have warned that Joseph’s condition is extraordinarily rare, with limited research available to predict how his recovery might unfold.His mother, Maria Salazar, a widowed mother of three, has remained at his bedside around the clock. But the heartbreaking ordeal has also created a financial crisis for the family.As the household’s sole provider, Salazar has been unable to work while caring for her hospitalized son, prompting relatives to seek donations for living expenses, medical bills, transportation and rehabilitation.“We never imagined that something that began with what seemed like minor symptoms could change Joseph’s life so quickly,” the family wrote.Joseph Vasquez in happier times with his family. GofundmeJoseph’s terrifying case comes as Los Angeles County grapples with an alarming surge in West Nile infections.The county’s Department of Public Health has reported 100 infections and five deaths this year, the highest number of cases recorded this early in mosquito season in nearly a decade.Nearly all reported cases this year have involved severe illness, with most patients requiring hospitalization, although health officials noted that milder infections frequently go undiagnosed.“West Nile virus can cause serious illness, and the number of severe cases and deaths we are seeing this year is concerning,” Los Angeles County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis warned.The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has reported 100 infections and five deaths this year, the highest number of cases recorded this early in mosquito season in nearly a decade. Getty ImagesMost people infected with West Nile virus experience no symptoms, while approximately one in five develops fever, headaches, body aches or a rash.However, roughly one in 150 infected people develops a severe illness, potentially involving the brain or spinal cord and causing paralysis.There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the virus.With peak mosquito season stretching from June through November, health officials are urging residents to use insect repellent, eliminate standing water and repair damaged window screens.Meanwhile, Joseph’s family is pleading for prayers and support as the teenager faces an uncertain future.“We are holding onto hope knowing that Joseph still has a long road ahead of him,” his family wrote.

Why Walsham le Willows Residents Are Fighting for 20mph Limits New

Why Walsham le Willows Residents Are Fighting for 20mph Limits

Locals in Walsham le Willows are campaiging for 20mph speed limits (Picture: James Linsell Clark/SWNS) Residents of a picturesque Suffolk village are campaigning for 20mph speed limits after warning that somebody could be killed. Locals living in Walsham le Willows secured a 20mph limit on a road passing the village school, playground and residential areas after 90% backed the move in a 2023 consultation. However, further requests to extend the limits have since been rejected by Suffolk County Council. Locals say roads around the village are still subject to 60mph national speed limits, despite blind bends, a lack of pavements and increasing traffic. Speed Watch coordinator Nick Tuck said the current limits were ‘unacceptable’. ‘Do we need to wait for a child on the way to the Sports Club to be killed before anything is done?’ he said. The Suffolk village is home to roughly 1,400 people (Picture: James Linsell Clark/SWNS) ‘Ideally, we should be able to put the infrastructure in place to slow traffic, such as chicanes, traffic/refuge crossing points, width restrictions or reduced speed limits. ‘Sadly, these all come at a cost, be it to the Parish or the County Councils, they also come with regulations and permissions. ‘Road safety and traffic management are not top of the pile until something goes horribly wrong.’ Parish councillor Janette Winch also said that traffic had increased in the area due to higher demands for housing, bringing commercial vehicles and commuters. ‘We, as residents, feel there’s inconsiderate driving especially with those who don’t live here and are trying to get from A to B,’ she said. ‘Those drivers are under a time pressure but slower speeds don’t massively impact an increase in their journey time. Speed Watch coordinator Nick Tuck said the current limits were ‘unacceptable’ (Picture: James Linsell Clark/SWNS) ‘If everybody drove the way some do, we would have accidents all the time. Within the village and the approaching roads, they are all at a national speed limit and it is not appropriate with the volume of traffic coming through.’ Meanwhile Ian Hartley, who is part of the Community Traffic Group, said his road of West Street was once a quiet lane when he moved in 2001. He explained: ‘When I first moved in and traffic started building up, I applied for a reduced speed limit and was told we didn’t have sufficient density for any road management. ‘Yet half a mile up the road, there’s another tiny hamlet and they’ve got 30mph signs – but no traffic at all. The council couldn’t explain that. ‘Since then, with village expansion, the traffic has increased exponentially to dangerous levels with only the national speed limit in place. Locals say roads around the village are still subject to 60mph national speed limits (Picture: James Linsell Clark/SWNS) ‘These are dangerous, blind bends and for most of us on our street, our access is on the front of the house.’ Residents of Walsham le Willows, which is home to roughly 1,400 people, have called for measures including chicanes, crossings, road narrowing and further speed reductions. But Suffolk County Council said there was not enough evidence to justify extending the existing 30mph and 40mph zones. A spokesperson said: ‘We carried out a survey of the roads and also looked at previous information about the area. ‘Based on what we found, there wasn’t enough evidence to support extending the existing 30mph and 40mph speed limits. ‘We only reduce speed limits where there is clear evidence that a lower limit is needed to help keep people safe.’ Ian Hartley said his road of West Street was once a quiet lane when he moved in 2001 (Picture: James Linsell Clark/SWNS) This comes after Wales introduced a default 20mph limit on most restricted roads in September 2023 despite critics calling the move ‘a war on cars’. In England, more 20mph limits are becoming increasingly common with Birmingham recently making headlines with plans to introduce 20mph limits on all non-A roads. A resident of Stanford Rivers, in Essex, has also created a homemade camera system which detects a vehicle’s speed and uses AI to post on social media the worst offenders. The creator, who wants to remain anonymous, posted on their blog that the project was attributed to ‘a healthy grudge against bad driving’.

Peste neumónica: por qué el aislamiento de 200 personas causa alerta

La muerte de la técnica de laboratorio del Instituto de lucha contra la peste de la ciudad de Irkutsk en Rusia, Daria Chipilova, generó sospechas de un contagio masivo de la peste neumónica, toda vez que se informó que la víctima podría haber contraído el virus tras la rotura de un tubo de ensayo.Por lo anterior se informó que alrededor de 200 personas del instituto de investigación quedaron aisladas de forma preventiva en caso de que estuvieran infectadas con la peste neumónica, la cual es altamente contagiosa según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).¿Qué es la peste neumónica? De acuerdo con la OMS, es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por bacterias. Su forma neumónica es altamente contagiosa y puede resultar mortal si no se trata rápidamente, indicó la organización internacional.¿Cómo se contagia la peste neumónica?La Organización Mundial de la Salud detalló que la peste es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por Yersinia pestis, una bacteria zoonótica que suele encontrarse en pequeños mamíferos y en las pulgas que los parasitan.  La peste neumónica es altamente contagiable, según la OMS. Foto: Archivo La manera de transmisión de la bacteria que provoca la peste neumónica entre los animales se hace a través de las pulgas. Para el caso de los seres humanos, la peste puede infectarse por las siguientes vías, según la OMS: La picadura de pulgas infectadas. Contacto directo con líquidos corporales infectados o materiales contaminados. La inhalación de gotículas respiratorias o pequeñas partículas de pacientes con peste neumónica. La peste neumónica ha causado varias muertes en 5 añosLa OMS precisó que la peste es una enfermedad muy grave para el ser humano, sobre todo en sus formas septicémica (infección sistémica causada por la presencia de bacterias en el torrente sanguíneo) y neumónica. “En ausencia de tratamiento, la tasa de letalidad oscila entre el 30% y el 100%. La forma neumónica, invariablemente mortal si no se trata pronto, es especialmente contagiosa y puede desencadenar epidemias graves con transmisión de persona a persona a través de gotículas respiratorias suspendidas en el aire”, indicó al OMS, quien recordó que entre 2010 y 2015 se notificaron 3248 casos en el mundo, 584 de ellos mortales.

Why Christa Pike May Not Face a Second Execution Attempt

Published 15:18 5 Oct 2026 GMT+1Pike, 50, was supposed to become the first woman put to death in Tennessee in 200 yearsAn attorney who previously represented Christa Pike during her post-conviction appeals has revealed how another execution attempt could go ahead.The failed execution attempt of the murder has made repeated headlines since she was taken to hospital for ‘live-saving’ measures on 30 September.The now 50-year-old was supposed to become the first woman put to death in Tennessee in two centuries after being sent to prison for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer.However the attempts failed, and she was taken to hospital having survived two doses of the lethal injection.AdvertPike reportedly 'remains critically ill' and is being treated at a hospital in Nashville, Texas, with her legal team claiming she 'may not fully recover'.Christa Pike, pictured in 1995, is receiving life-saving medical care in hospital (WBIR10)Her lawyer Stephen Ferrel told CNN of her current status: “She is guarded. I’m not sure who may have seen her."I know I have not seen her. The state of Tennessee has not yet said whether it will ultimately try to execute her again.”He added that she 'may not fully recover' is she isn't executed, noting that her future remains uncertain as doctors tried to clear two doses of pentobarbital from her body.Gov. Bill Lee later halted the one remaining execution for the rest of the year in Tennessee pending an investigation.Now, Pike's former lawyer James Crowson has told LADbible about his experience with her in the mid-2000s, revealing what he thought of her and what the next steps could be.She has been locked up since 1996 after killing her classmate, Colleen Slemmer, when she was 18 at the time.Colleen Slemmer was killed by Christa Pike (Family Handout)They may not be able to attempt another execution Speaking to LADbible, Crowson, who opposes the death penalty, said she may not be able to face another execution due to the potential impact of the botched attempt.This is because if she suffers permanent brain injuries or becomes so compromised 'she doesn't know what's going on', then they wouldn't be able to attempt to take her life.Executions are legally barred if an inmate is mentally incompetent and doesn't understand the reason for their execution.“Nobody, certainly not Christa Pike and not even the state of Tennessee, should be allowed to take someone’s life," he explained.Christa Pike (YouTube/Insider Edition)"The outcome of this attempted execution shows it’s difficult to walk the fine line between properly punishing someone who did something horrific and not violating the constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.”He continued: “As a practical matter, there’s going to be a lot of pressure on the governor to grant clemency after this.“Without knowing the exact effect of the attempted execution on Christa, it’s impossible to say how this will all play out. "In my experience a lot of folks who are on ventilators end up with permanent brain injuries. If someone has a brain injury to such an extent that she cannot see a causal relationship between the punishment and her prior actions, that person cannot be executed. "In other words, if she’s so compromised that she doesn’t understand what’s going on, they will not be able to attempt another execution.”Christa had been on death row for 30 years (Getty)"She could be very charming"Crowson had represented Pike between 2006 and 2008 while working for the Tennessee Post-Conviction Defender.Remembering his interactions with her, he told LADbible that despite her crimes, she was 'very charming' and had suffered abuse.“Christa Pike was an attractive young lady when she was arrested and there was an overlay of allegations of satanic involvement in the crime, and that is always something that gets a lot of attention," he explained.“She could be very charming, and she at least projected empathy and being sensitive. Christa Pike (Tennessee Department of Correction)"She was an artist, among other things, and a bit of a writer. She was a very nuanced person. She had a lot of different sides to her personality. Of course, I didn’t get to see all of them.”"I was part of a team of two attorneys who worked on her appeal for about a year and a half in the late 2000s. Christa had other appellate attorneys before I joined the team and after I left. "At the time, we were having hearings at the appellate level where we were making the argument that Christa received ineffective assistance of counsel at her trial."Featured Image Credit: Tennessee Department of CorrectionTopics: US News, Crime
