The family of an 11-year-old boy who died at a sleepover have warned other parents about a challenge circulating online that encourages the inhalation of toxic fumes.

Tommie-lee Gracie Billington died on Saturday, March 2, after being found unresponsive by paramedics at a friend’s house at Greenset Close, Lancaster.

The schoolboy died after allegedly taking part in a dangerous social media challenge, his family claimed today.

Tommie-lee’s grandmother, Tina Burns, has today spoken out about the death of her grandson, claiming he ‘died instantly’ at a sleepover where he and a friend had ‘tried the TikTok craze chroming’.

The teaching assistant said the family want TikTok ‘taken down’ and for children under the age of 16 to be banned from using social media.

Chroming has been used as a slang term to describe the trend of inhaling toxic fumes to get a high since before TikTok’s launch in the UK in 2018. The social media platform has also blocked any videos or searches using the term.

Tina told the Lancashire Post: ‘We don’t want any other children to follow TikTok or be on social media.

‘In fact, we want to get TikTok taken down and no children to be allowed on any social media under 16 years of age.

‘This is breaking us all but we want to help save other children’s lives and give families awareness to keep their children safe.’

Lancashire Police was called to the scene by North West Ambulance Service shortly after 12pm. The boy was transferred to hospital but was later pronounced dead.

The grandmother said she had received many messages from other parents ‘thanking her’ for raising awareness of the challenge.

Tina said she knew of one woman who had ‘no idea’ about the social media crazes and her children ‘happily’ sit on TikTok in their bedrooms.

‘She has now removed all social media from their devices and is so grateful that we are openly talking about it,’ the teacher added.

Tina, who works with year five and six, has also spoken to the headteacher at the school where she works, in order to spread the message even further to other educational institutions in the area.

She paid tribute to her grandson and told the outlet that he had a ‘heart of gold,’ adding that the family have been left ‘utterly devastated’ by the loss of Tommie-lee, who was ‘bright’, ‘energetic’ and the ‘life and soul of any room’.

The word ‘chroming’ is an informal word that originates from Australia. It involves inhaling fumes from a toxic source such as an aerosol can, a spray deodorant or a paint container.

Inhaling the fumes affects the central nervous system and slows down brain activity which results in a short-term high.

But the practice is extremely dangerous and can result in dizziness, hallucinations, vomiting, heart attacks, suffocation and can permanently damage the brain, liver and kidneys.

A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said: ‘We were called by the ambulance service at 12:04pm on Saturday, March 2, to an address on Greenset Close in Lancaster to a report of a sudden death.

‘Emergency services attended an address and found an 11 year old boy unresponsive. Sadly he was later pronounced dead.

‘The death is currently being treated as unexplained and the Coroner has been informed.

‘A police investigation is ongoing and the boy’s family are being supported by officers. Our thoughts are with the boy’s loved ones at this incredibly sad time.

‘If anyone has any information they are asked to contact Police on 101 Log 0527 of March 2.’

Gary Sinise’s son, Mac Sinise, died at the age of 33 after a long illness with a rare form of cancer. The Gary Sinise Foundation published a tribute announcing that Mac died on January 6, 2024.

Mac was laid to rest on January 23, 2024. Gary spoke of how bravely his son fought an uphill battle with a cancer that had no cure. The “CSI: New York” star was proud, fortunate, and blessed to be Mac’s dad.

In a long and emotional tribute, Gary opened up about Mac’s life. He revealed that his son had been playing drums since he was nine years old. As an exceptional drummer, Mac would substitute for Gary’s drummer, Danny Gottlieb. He would play drums at “CSI: New York.” rap parties with the Lt. Dan Band.

He sweetly recalled, “Those were some great times, father and son rockin’ out together for the troops.” However, Gary’s family was rocked when mother and son were diagnosed with cancer within months of each other.

The summer of 2018 posed significant challenges for Gary’s family. In June of that year, his wife Moira Harris, received a diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer. Following lymph node surgery, she commenced chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Then, on August 8, 2018, Gary’s family received the startling news of Mac’s diagnosis with a rare cancer called Chordoma. This revelation left them reeling, as they grappled with the rarity and severity of the disease.

Gary dived online and found out that Chordoma, a cancer originating in the spine, is exceedingly rare, affecting approximately 300 individuals in the United States annually.

He also learned that while 70% of cases allow for successful removal of the initial tumor and subsequent cure, the remaining 30% face the distressing possibility of cancer recurrence, presenting a daunting challenge for his family.

Luckily, Gary’s wife went into treatment and was soon in remission. Her cancer hasn’t returned since. However, for Mac, the battle was harder. Following the surgery to eliminate the initial tumor in September 2018, Mac underwent an additional spinal procedure in February 2019 to deal with what appeared to be an infection.

Regrettably, a subsequent scan in May 2019 showed that his Chordoma had resurfaced and was spreading. Thus began a prolonged battle, during which Mac’s condition worsened over time, posing greater challenges to his well-being.

Even as the cancer fight got harder in 2019, Mac still went to the Gary Sinise Foundation’s offices. He stopped going to the office in 2019 after a third spine surgery in November 2019. Before he was diagnosed with cancer, Mac’s position at the foundation was the Assistant Manager of Education and Outreach as of February 27, 2017.

Gary’s son’s responsibilities involved managing the Gary Sinise Foundation archive, digitizing materials, and overseeing operations at the foundation’s Education & Outreach Center. This included organizing events, conducting tours, engaging with donors, and reaching out to military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families who received the foundation’s support.

Gary noted that Mac Sinise had a friendly demeanor, so, he made a positive impact on visitors at the Gary Sinise: A Call-to-Action exhibit and contributed to various local and national events.

The actor said having Mac on the team was a blessing as he was deeply committed to the foundation’s mission and the individuals they assisted. Gary looked forward to seeing his son progress within the organization.

Gary expressed that Mac consistently infused their mission with joy and pride, especially evident during hands-on events such as the Soaring Valor gatherings, which honored WWII heroes, and the Invincible Spirit Festivals, where the Lt. Dan Band uplifted wounded veterans at military hospitals across the nation.

Mac’s enthusiasm was evident whenever he joined Gary on the road, and his dedication to their cause shone through in every interaction. “I was eager to watch him grow with the organization,” noted Gary.

Gary reflected on Mac’s determination to contribute to the foundation even while in recovery at home. Despite encountering personal obstacles, Mac enthusiastically began the endeavor of launching the Gary Sinise Foundation.

His commitment shone through as he successfully conducted two interviews, one with the foundation’s video producer, Kip Perry, and another with Gary himself. However, in January 2020, on the eve of his fourth spine surgery, Mac recognized the need to step away temporarily from the foundation duties to focus on his health.

Gary acknowledged Mac’s decision to prioritize his recovery, understanding that it required his full attention, especially with a fifth spine surgery scheduled for June 2020, followed by radiation and ongoing chemotherapy.

As Mac continued his relentless fight against Chordoma, friends and family wanted to help. So, the family created the page “Team Mac,” where they could raise funds for the highly-required research to find treatments for this rare orphan cancer.

Mac’s condition worsened when the cancer paralyzed him from the chest down. Due to his disability, he couldn’t play drums and piano anymore. This was a blow to Mac, who was a graduate of the USC Thorton School of Music. At school, he also played drums and studied songwriting and composition. At one point, he played drums at their home’s garage.

Gary recounted how Mac, in 2023, despite his health challenges, found inspiration to revisit a piece of music called “Arctic Circles” that he had composed during his college years but never completed. Mac dubbed his piece “Arctic Circles” as a nod to the wintery nature documentaries that brought him solace during his hospital stays.

Eager to bring the project to fruition, Mac reached out to Dan Myers, the violinist and singer for Gary’s Lt. Dan Band, for collaboration. Despite being paralyzed from the chest down due to cancer, Mac persisted in working on the piece, utilizing his limited mobility.

He either worked from his hospital bed at home or in his wheelchair. With a stylus attached to his right hand and a small keyboard on his hospital bed table, Mac found ways to input ideas and refine his music, demonstrating his resilience and determination.

In April 2023, Dan suggested reaching out to pianist Ben Lewis, a longtime friend and fellow bandmate. Mac then got in touch with his college friend, composer, and arranger Oliver Schnee. By June 2023, Mac shared a scratch piano track of “Arctic Circles” recorded by Ben with Oliver.

Impressed, Oliver agreed to help finish it, and they began collaborating. After exchanging notes and fine-tuning, Oliver completed a stunning arrangement. Mac chose July 17, 2023, for the recording session, coinciding with his sister Sophie’s visit.

The session was booked at the renowned Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, with Mac financing it himself. Oliver and his father, acclaimed recording engineer and producer Bill Schnee, organized top studio musicians, and Bill oversaw the mixing board.

Mac continued pursuing his love for music as he battled cancer. However, with drumming no longer an option, his mother recommended he try the harmonica. Embracing the suggestion, Mac began teaching himself to play.

Gary, who was inspired by a story from his friend Sammy L. Davis, a Medal of Honor recipient and harmonica player, showed Mac a video of Sammy playing “Shenandoah.” This clip encouraged Mac to learn the tune and he mastered it beautifully.

Gary was impressed by Mac’s rendition, so, he proposed the idea of arranging strings to accompany him. Since Oliver was already orchestrating “Arctic Circles,” Gary thought it made sense to include “Shenandoah” as well.

This collaboration sparked Mac’s vision for an entire album titled “Resurrection & Revival,” centered on the theme of revitalizing old or unfinished works. Mac stayed on a mission to accomplish his vision as much as cancer was a burden for him and his family. His efforts paid off as his full album will soon be available.

Mac was excited to share the album with the world but he couldn’t as the week the album went to press, he departed from this world. Mac celebrated his last birthday during a recording session at Blackbird Studios.

Harry Connick, Jr. made an unexpected appearance to surprise Mac on his 33rd birthday. His surprise visit added an extra layer of joy to the studio session. Mac cut cake with his loved ones and shared a moment of happiness and laughter on his last birthday.

Until Gary’ Sinise’s live interview with Raymond Arroyo on December 29, 2023, the actor had not publicly addressed Mac’s difficult battle.

Sadly, on December 30, 2023, the day after Gary’s interview with Raymond, Mac was rushed to the emergency room due to difficulty breathing. Despite stabilizing him, he was admitted to the hospital. Gary remained by his side, hoping for a routine stay and a return home.

During those initial days, Mac shared his interview with hospital staff, delighted by their reactions to his music videos on his YouTube Channel. However, as the days passed, his condition worsened. On January 5, 2024, at 3:25 a.m., surrounded by his family, he peacefully succumbed to his battle with Chordoma.

Gary’s family expressed gratitude for all those who have extended help, love, and support during their challenging time. They thanked Mac’s caregivers Mimi and Lulu. The family also noted that Mac was known for his deep devotion to his Catholic faith.

This commitment undoubtedly provided him with strength throughout his arduous five-and-a-half-year struggle against the debilitating Chordoma cancer. The family disclosed that Mac’s favorite quote from St. Augustine was, “You have made us for yourself oh Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”

As much as Mac’s family deeply mourns his absence, they find solace in the knowledge that he is now free from his suffering. They are inspired and touched by his remarkable resilience throughout his ordeal especially, since Mac was always focusing on what he could do, and never on what he couldn’t.

Despite facing an insurmountable battle against cancer with no cure, Mac never gave up. His family recognized that his love for movies often drew comparisons to the resilient soldier in the poignant film “1917.”

Like the soldier enduring relentless bombardment on the battlefield, Mac continually rose after each setback, refusing to surrender and pressing onward. Now, with his demise, his family who loves and dearly misses him find comfort in the fact that their loved one is no longer in pain.

One of the most fatal cancer type is colorectal cancer. 140,000 people have been diagnosed with this type of cancer in 2016 alone. One of the main reasons why this cancer is so deadly is its late detection, which happens due to ignoring the warning signs.

Here are the most common warning signs that your body gives you when its fighting colorectal cancer.

Cramps

Even though they are very common with various other conditions, when they last for a longer period of time, it could be a potential colon cancer symptom.

Fatigue

Another symptom common for many health issues, which it is often overlooked as a colorectal cancer symptom. If you lead a healthy lifestyle and get enough sleep, but you still experience fatigue combined with other colorectal cancer symptoms, then it’s time you visit your doctor.

Fatigue and cancer have a strong link because the disease uses up all of your body’s energy. Moreover, fatigue due to colon cancer is usually accompanied by loss of blood.

Unexplained weight loss

If you experience an unintentional loss of 5% or more of your weight within 6 months, then it’s a clear sign that something is terribly wrong. This happens because cancer cells use the energy of the body as fuel, which affects the immune system and causes weight loss.

Colon cancer patients often have a big tumor blocking the colon, thus bowel movements are disrupted and weight loss occurs.

Irregular bowel movements

The colon polyps can turn cancerous over time and affect your bowel movements. They can also influence your large intestine function and cause stool changes.

Accepting the death of a loved one is no easy feat, especially when that individual is young and vibrant, with a whole life ahead of them. Such was the case for Sean “Squishy” Tai Garinger’s family.

Garinger, just 20 years old and born on June 11, 2003, hailed from South Dakota but met his untimely demise in Boone, North Carolina. His mother, Mary Hobbs, confirmed the heartbreaking news, recounting the harrowing details of his final moments.

“I was with him when it happened. He was just moving [the ATV] from one parking spot to the next for me, so I could back into park,” she revealed. “He pulled [in] front of me to park the ATV and the ground gave way from all the rain and mud.”

Tragically, the ATV flipped, resulting in a fatal injury to his head. Hobbs described how she desperately sought help from neighbors to lift the ATV off her son, to no avail. “By that time, I realized he wasn’t alive anymore,” she lamented.

Hobbs spoke poignantly of her only son, whom she referred to as the source of her strength and the person who grounds her, expressing the profound impact of his loss on her life.

Garinger’s vibrant spirit and zest for life were evident to all who knew him. He was known as “Squishy” by those close to him and was referred to as a “military brat,” “kind and generous,” and “had a passion for living life to the fullest” in his obituary. His passion for adventure knew no bounds, from driving RC cars to skydiving, surfing, and exploring the ocean depths.

Garinger gained significant attention when he starred on MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” Season 6B as the father of Selena Gutierrez’s children. They had two children, Dareli and Esmi, whom they loved and cared for despite their relationship struggles and allegations of infidelity.

When they were still a couple, they lived in Arizona with Hobbs. Gutierrez revealed that she would often be alone with the kids as Garinger would go to work.

In fact, Garinger and his mother had just returned from a car dealership before his accident, with plans to purchase a vehicle so Garinger could visit his daughters in Colorado, where Gutierrez resides. However, fate had other plans, as they never returned to the dealership.

Garinger and Gutierrez had been separated for a while and had already moved on from their relationship when he passed away. However, Garinger was reportedly close to her family and would visit his kids.

In the wake of his passing, Garinger’s family and friends are left to grapple with the enormity of their loss. His memorial service, held at Austin & Barnes Funeral Home in Boone, NC, on March 2, 2024, served as a poignant reminder of the impact Sean had on those around him. He is survived by his beloved daughters, mother, Hobbs, and six sisters.

Sadly, another face in the entertainment scene recently passed away. WWE legend “Virgil” Michael Jones died at 61 years old.

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has been seen for the first time with her mother in over two months since her planned abdominal surgery prevented her from participating in public engagements. Photos taken of the princess ignited a whirlwind of speculation on social media.

Kate Middleton was recently spotted for the first time as she recovered in private from a planned abdominal surgery. This sighting comes after more than two months of absence from the public eye.

Witnesses caught a glimpse of the princess sitting in the passenger seat of a black Audi SUV. Her mother, Carole Middleton, at the wheel, as they drove near Windsor Castle. Kate, donning a pair of dark sunglasses that covered her eyes, was without other family members or security during this outing.

This appearance quickly became a topic of conversation on social media, where photographs of Kate circulated, sparking various reactions. Among the comments, skepticism about the identity of the person in the photographs was rampant.

One user questioned the authenticity, stating“That’s not her. Nice try though,” while another humorously suggested, “It’s a wax sculpture.”

Adding to the confusion, several social media users were convinced the individual in the car was Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, leading to comments such as “Looks like Pippa, not Catherine,” “That is not Kate that is pippa [sic],” “I think that looks a bit like her sister,” and “The woman in the picture has a striking resemblance to her sister. Pippa. I don’t think it is Kate.”

Speculation didn’t stop at mistaken identity; others believed that the princess had undergone plastic surgery. Comments reflecting this theory included direct accusations, such as, “She has plastic surgery,” and queries like “Did she get a facelift,” and suspicions about photo manipulation, “Did you blur it so we couldn’t see the bandage on her nose?”

Despite the varied reactions, there was also a significant outpouring of support for Kate, with well-wishers sharing sentiments such as “Hope she is doing better,” “One of the best news so far,” and “Princess Catherine I hope you are completely healed and doing well. Stay strong!”

Kate’s last public appearance prior to her surgery was documented on December 25, 2023, when she and her husband, Prince William, attended a Christmas event at church. Following her last public appearance, the next update about Kate was related to her undergoing abdominal surgery.

The absence of detailed information regarding her condition without further elaboration has since fueled public curiosity.

Buckingham Palace’s brief update, stating Kate would be hospitalized for approximately two weeks and wouldn’t resume her duties until about Easter, did little to quell speculation. Last week, the palace sought to reassure the public of her recovery progress amidst rampant online conjecture.

Given the scarcity of details on Kate’s health, speculation has run rife, with the palace’s representatives addressing conspiracy theories about her whereabouts post-surgery.

“Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates,” Kate’s representative revealed. Meanwhile, the palace emphasized again at that time that Kate was “doing well.”

Prince William continues his public engagements, including a recent solo appearance at the BAFTA Film Awards. His attendance not only underscored his ongoing support for the arts but also brought attention to Kate’s health struggles.

Apologizing for his wife’s absence, William expressed regret that she couldn’t join him, noting her fondness for the BAFTAs. This moment of candidness offered a rare insight into the personal challenges the couple faces, underscoring the adjustments required during Kate’s recovery period at their Windsor home.

As previously reported on February 29:

It’s been over two months since the Princess of Wales was last seen in public during the royal family’s traditional Christmas morning service at Sandringham last year.

Following this, Kensington Palace announced on January 17, 2024, that the Princess was admitted to the hospital for “planned abdominal surgery,” necessitating a period of rest. Consequently, Princess Catherine’s public engagements have been paused, with expectations set for her return to royal duties after Easter.

During her last public appearance before the surgery, the Princess was seen walking to the St. Mary Magdalene Church in the royal family’s estate in Norfolk, England. She was among royal family members, including Prince William and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

On January 29, 2024, a spokesperson from Kensington Palace announced that Princess Catherine had been discharged from The London Clinic and would continue her recovery at home in Windsor. “She is making good progress,” the statement assured.

Kensington Palace expressed gratitude for the support and care provided by the medical staff and the well wishes from around the world. Although specific details of the surgery were not disclosed, it was previously confirmed that the surgery was successful and the condition treated was non-cancerous.

At a recent investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, Prince William commented on his wife’s health recovery while stepping in for his father, King Charles III, following the king’s recent cancer diagnosis announcement.

During the ceremony, Trish Spruce, a recruiter for the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, who was being honored with an MBE, revealed in a LinkedIn post that the Prince of Wales expressed his admiration towards two Filipino nurses caring for Catherine. He praised their incredible kindness and dedication.

During Kate’s hospital stay, William put his official duties on hold. He has since returned to resume his engagements after ensuring Kate was comfortably settled in the home they share in Windsor.

Don Diamont is a father of seven boys, so he is not surprised to have welcomed a boy as his first grandchild. Alexander Diamont, his oldest son, became the first parent out of all the boys.

Alexander married his wife Audrey Diamont on July 23, 2022, and they announced their pregnancy in August of the following year. Coincidentally or not, the baby boy was named August.

August is a name with Latin origins. It means “great” or “magnificent.” While the name is not gender-neutral, it is sometimes used for girls. It is also said to be an ancient Roman name.

As Don Diamont welcomes one more boy into his big family, he had once opened up about his past tragedies. The actor lost his dad and older brother before becoming a parent to seven boys.

“I was profoundly hurt and affected by my dad and brother being taken from me so soon. I didn’t see it coming. It was not how I envisioned life,” he said in an interview.

“I thought they’d be there to meet my wife, my children, and to share experiences. That was just gone almost in the blink of an eye. Those scars remain. I wanted children. I wanted back what was taken from me. I wanted to recreate that. I have been rewarded many times over,” he continued.

Diamont is rewarded once again with the arrival of August into his family. The actor still welcomes his stepsons from the previous marriage to Rachel Braun. He considers Lauren and Sasha part of his family.

“It was crucial for me that these guys understand that I was leaving their mother but I wasn’t leaving them. I will always be there for them. I’m here, and I’ll always be here,” said Diamont.

With his first grandkid on the scene, Don Diamont is over the moon about his growing family. As he works in daytime television, he would have time to spend with his grandchild as he once said, “My wife and I, we’re homebodies. Working in daytime has allowed me to have a very normal, more or less 9-to-5 kind of a life.”

lQueen Camilla is taking a private break with her family after a busy schedule. With King Charles’s cancer diagnosis, the public is questioning the severity of his condition, especially considering Queen Camilla’s decision to temporarily step back from her duties.

Queen Camilla has no engagements in her diary this week, and it is understood that she will spend a few days of private downtime with the King and her own family. She will resume engagements on March 11, when she will represent King Charles and lead the royal family for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.

The public is both worried about the King’s health and relieved that Queen Camilla will be able to rest for a while. “She deserves a break. She may need to spend more time with Charles,” said a user. “Camilla deserves a break,” another agreed. “I hope Charles and Camilla have a lovely break planned,” chimed in a user.

While some are happy for Camilla, others cannot stop thinking about the reasons for this sudden break. “Can’t stop thinking is Charles’s cancer more serious than we were told!” commented a user. “I would assume that the king has got way worse cancer than they say,” said another.

Despite facing the challenge of King Charles’s cancer diagnosis, Camilla has been maintaining her royal responsibilities. She has shown her support for various causes, from the ‘500 Words’ competition promoting children’s literacy to diplomatic talks with Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska.

As the Queen balances her duties and carves out time for a break, King Charles is receiving a wave of support. Over 7,000 letters and cards from around the world, including notes from children and cancer survivors, have poured in. The palace and the King express gratitude for this comfort during a trying time.

Such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement,” said the King. The monarch admitted that the kind letters were overwhelming for him and reduced him to tears most of the time.

In the midst of Queen Camilla’s well-deserved break, the public’s concern for King Charles’s health remains palpable, particularly in light of his cancer diagnosis and her temporary step back from duties.

As previously reported on February 13, 2024:

King Charles III and Queen Camilla were pictured returning to Buckingham Palace after a week in Norfolk. Their trip came after the Monarch’s cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Their return to Buckingham Palace on February 13, 2024, marked a significant moment as the royal couple arrived from their week-long stay at Sandringham in Norfolk. This return comes in the wake of the announcement that King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, a revelation that has sparked widespread support and concern.

The couple came back via the royal helicopter, which also took them to Norfolk last week. As they arrived in London, the weather mirrored the somber mood, with rain adding to the day’s solemnity.

Despite the dreary weather, the King and Queen were pictured inside their car looking in high spirits. King Charles even took a moment to wave at those who saw him. King Charles has begun treatment for a form of cancer that was identified following diagnostic tests.

Social media platforms, in particular, have become a space for public expressions of hope and solidarity, with numerous individuals sending prayers and positive thoughts, including one who wrote on Facebook, “Good luck with your treatment I pray for.” Another also wrote, “It’s not funny at all; it’s very serious. I will pray for King Charles.”

King Charles III has since issued a public statement expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support. “It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations that support cancer patients and their families across the UK and the wider world,” he said.

He previously revealed that he made his diagnosis public to prevent speculation and to help broaden the understanding of individuals globally coping with cancer.

As previously reported on February 11:

King Charles III was recently seen attending the Sunday service at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in the Sandringham estate, on February 11, 2024. Dressed in a brown trench coat and gray slacks, he was holding an umbrella. He walked beside his wife, Queen Camilla, and The Reverend Canon Dr Paul Williams.

The couple waved as they looked at the cameras, looking high in spirits. King Charles’ recent sighting came after he publicly disclosed his cancer diagnosis.

On January 29, 2024, before releasing his cancer diagnosis statement, the palace announced His Majesty’s discharge from the hospital due to a “planned medical treatment.” He has since paused his public engagements to focus on his health.

“His Majesty would like to thank the medical team and all those involved in supporting his hospital visit, and is grateful for all the kind messages he has received in recent days,” the statement read.

The King announced his cancer diagnosis following a medical procedure for his prostate, and Queen Camilla has since put on a brave face and had spoken about her husband’s diagnosis.

“He is doing extremely well under the circumstances. He is very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere. That’s very cheering,” she said a few days ago.

Most recently, King Charles III released a statement thanking the public for their unwavering love, support, and well wishes. He revealed that he decided to go public with his illness to raise awareness and understanding about cancer, especially among those affected by the dreaded disease.

Another said“Looks very healthy. But he needs more rest. Hope he finds a quiet spot for a few weeks. Scotland would be perfect 👌😊,” while a third social media user who was pleased by the King’s appearance stated“Impressed that His Majesty is walking so smoothly.”

King Charles III’s hospital release comes just after it was announced that the Princess of Wales also left The London Clinic and returned home, where she continues to recover from her abdominal surgery.

Since his hospitalization, footage and pictures of Queen Camilla visiting her husband, King Charles III, have sparked online buzz. So far, the Queen has been seen visiting His Majesty The King three times.

Following his corrective surgery, King Charles III has been recovering at the same hospital where the Princess of Wales, Princess Catherine, is. During her first visit, a smiling Queen Camilla adorned a coat-like navy dress as she left the hospital and entered her car.

 

After a three-year-old boy went missing in late February, new developments show that his mother and caregiver have been charged with circumstances surrounding his disappearance. The developments recently came to light.

A three-year-old boy named Elijah Vue was reported missing in late February this year. Now his mother faces charges of neglect and obstruction. Jesse Vang, the caregiver who was given custody of the boy for “disciplinary reasons,” has also been charged with child neglect. Both individuals appeared in court on Monday afternoon, with preliminary hearings scheduled for March 7.

Vue was last seen at Vang’s residence in Two Rivers, where Vang admits to falling asleep and discovering Vue’s absence upon awakening on February 20. The child’s mother, who resides in Wisconsin Dells, initially claimed absence from Manitowoc during the critical time frame, but her cell phone records suggest otherwise, leading to her obstruction charge.

The criminal complaint reveals concerning disciplinary methods employed by Vang. He described “time outs” lasting from 1-3 hours, during which Vue was made to pray or apologize to his mother. Vang admitted to this being a form of “boot camp,” intended to correct undefined misbehaviors, noting Vue’s lack of potty training and minimal diaper changes.

When Vang’s time out methods proved ineffective, the caregiver resorted to threatening Vue with cold water, aware of the child’s aversion to it. Vang’s stated goal was to teach Vue to behave well at home, seeing it as a “privilege.”

The Two Rivers community has been searching for Elijah since his disappearance, led by the Vue family’s efforts. Elijah’s Uncle, Orson Vue, expressed the family’s determination and heartbreak over the situation. A local press conference amplified the grandmother’s plea for continued public support in the search as she begged “Don’t stop searching for my baby”.

Elijah Vue is a child of Hmong and white ethnicity, with dark blonde hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing gray pants, a dark long-sleeve shirt, and distinct red and green dinosaur shoes, possibly carrying a red and white plaid blanket.

In an exclusive update, the owner of Ross Auto Service in Two Rivers recounted Vue’s presence in his shop with Vang on February 16. Noting nothing unusual at the time, he has since cooperated fully with authorities.

Authorities and the Vue family urge anyone with information to come forward and assist in the urgent search for Elijah. The FBI has joined local efforts, offering a reward for information leading to Elijah’s location and safe return. For any information regarding Elijah’s whereabouts, please reach out to the authorities at (844) 267-6648.

Anyone with information on who is responsible for Vue’s disappearance could possibly receive a $1000 reward. Additionally, anyone with information that leads to the location and return of Vue could receive a $15,000 reward from the FBI.

Another family who experienced their child going miss encountered an unexpected moment when the child’s father found a note. Find the full story here.

The Phone A Friend option on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is always rife with tension – as contestants put their chances in someone else’s hands.

But in on episode things took an even more dramatic man when a contestant called his wife to help him bag a huge cheque – only to hear another man’s voice.

In a resurfaced clip from 2020, JP Morgan from Lincoln, used the Phone a Friend option, hoping his wife would help him bag £16,000, but was instead baffled when another man apparently picked up the call.

Seconds after JP hit dial, he was confronted with a man’s voice, although it appeared to be an automated message before Elizabeth finally picked up.

Alarmed, star presenter Jeremy Clarkson said: ‘That was a man who just answered your phone.’

Realising his remark had made JP panic, he continued: ‘But relax, it could be completely innocent’.

When she answered, Jeremy asked: ‘Can I just confirm that you’ve got someone there with you?’

The science teacher was struggling with the question: ‘Which of these days is part of the weekend in Germany?’ when he decided to use the helpful calling feature.

The four options presented to him were Donnerstag, Mittwoch, Sonntag, or Dienstag, before he was prompted to call his wife Elizabeth, who has close family ties to Germany.

JP said: ‘My wife’s auntie has lived in Germany for over 50 years, my wife’s been there a few times.

‘My wife, who at different times would probably have been in the audience, is at home as one of my Phone a Friends’.

Startled viewers were quick to take their thoughts on YouTube, where the clip has racked up just shy of 350,000 views.

One joked: ‘Cheers to all of us who gathered here just to find out if his wife is cheating’.

Another added: ‘That was the most awkward Phone A Friend ever. When the host asked her to confirm if she has someone there with her I died’.

YouTube users were quick to chime in on the hilarious moment – with plenty left in hysterics as host Jeremy Clarkson jokingly alluded to an affair with player JP’s wife Elizabeth cheating on me, although it turned out the male voice was probably an automated message

A more practical user chimed in with their theory: ‘I think realistically it was an automated service and there was a bit of a connection issue lol’.

And a different user speculated: ‘Didn’t she say she was indeed with someone and also said sorry later on’.

Another joked: ‘Looks like he’s worried the money he’ll win will go to alimony’.

Some were left unimpressed with host Jeremy:  ‘Really threw a couple under the bus for a cheap laugh.

‘Now people will be bringing that up with the couple even after the show ends’.

However, amidst the glamour of the event, it was Kardashian’s hands that became the focus of attention, sparking concern among fans over their seemingly aged appearance despite her relatively young age. Images shared on social media revealed Kardashian’s hands to be red, swollen, and wrinkled, prompting speculation and commentary from eagle-eyed followers.

One Reddit user pondered, “Have her hands been soaking in water?! Why are her fingertips so wrinkled?” Another expressed surprise, commenting, “She’s shriveling up!” The discussion continued, with another commenter questioning, “How the f**k do her hands look like that of a 60-year-old?” Some even described her hands as “haunting,” with one remarking that they would be less unsettling without her manicured nails.

Speculation arose regarding the possible causes of Kardashian’s hand condition, with one fan suggesting dehydration from her long-haul flight from Los Angeles to Paris. They theorized that Kardashian may have reduced her water intake before the event to appear slimmer. Others attributed the issue to Kardashian’s battle with psoriasis, a condition known to cause dry, red, and painful skin. Additionally, her recent snowboarding activity was cited as a possible cause of dry and swollen skin due to the high altitude.

While Kardashian has remained relatively silent on comments about her changing appearance, she has denied undergoing butt implants or any surgical procedures on her face and body. In a 2022 interview with Allure, Kardashian admitted to using Botox on her forehead but denied ever using fillers, unlike her sister Kylie Jenner. She stated, “A little bit of Botox… No filler. Never filled either one, ever. I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips.”
