Can someone explain how someone died 98/102 years old?
BenSRQ
In the source of OP's source, I found this: "Moraitis, who didn’t remember his exact age, either 98 or 102 [...]"
BeatrixBeaverhousen
Maybe he died in 1998 at the age of 102?

OCD is not a neurodevelopmental disorder. Autism is, however.

Well I tried to check what OCD is categorized as from Wiki and there was a source related to OCD in there, but yeah it's a mental disorder.

15 cases that baffled doctors according to a website which sited no sources...
Dolphinia
#5 is not really baffling. Pregnancy was due to usual fertility treatments. Mother had 4 girls - the Gardner Quads. They turn 2 in Dec.
IratetheD
yeah that treatment they use isn't rare to have a bunch
royohz
What's really baffling is how OP could mistake a person for a couple. I'm not seeing the father's reaction at all.
PhenTsoksar
I'm pretty sure I could explain away #'s 4,5,10,12,13, and 14 as baffling for average doctors. #6 worries me only because I would suspect(1/

You're a joke
sj2890
The original caption lead us to believe that he fell from the 47th floor to the ground. Not as astounding but still impressive.
periwinklepanda
Some of these are not baffling to doctors they're just very, very unlikely. Like #5 the little girls are adorable though
DarthCreep
Yeah, I came down here to say just that, coming from an actual quadruplet who is also an identical twin to one of the siblings. (1/2)
DarthCreep
We are also all male. I find it so hilarious when I tell people about how all 4 of us are quadruplets as they stand there in disbelief (2/?)
DarthCreep
like "What? Really? No way!" and I just sit there as if it's no big deal because it's just normal to me. (3/3)
periwinklepanda
That is really cool though! Overwhelming for your parents I'd imagine though, especially at first!
WhatTheFluxCapacitor
98/102?
lilmessi42
I think if he had lived to 102, it would have been 4 decades since his diagnosis. Hence OP says "almost four decades"
ItispronouncedGIFwithahardG
I thought the same thing; maybe they didn't have records of his birth year and that's an estimate of his age?
TheGreatBlueHeron

Blood Pressure. I see why he passed away.

It's a rating system, duh. Some people say 4/5, others 5/7, @OP says 98/102.

Arsikere
the new 5/7?
WhooshWhooshWhoosh
Or he died in 1998, age 102. Just a suggestion.
WeekendMashSomeTatoes
That camera resolution and colorization tho.
tomrad1234
Maybe he was 98 and died in 19102
RichterCa
0.96078
SrDave
This number would be more accurate to the doctors diagnostic. Which would mean that OP was just making fun of this poor man.
friendswithfire
Is that guy's dad in prison for life??
blackcat23
And the judge told him to "burn in hell"
HelloMax
And where the hell did he get aids blood?
mikekearn
Yeah, it's unforgivable to give a kid a name like "Brryan".
FuzzyX
Yes the Judge sentenced him to life in prison describing him as one of the worst criminals possible. 1/2.
GrizzlyWicks
i know right. black parents white baby but it wasnt stolen

ItispronouncedGIFwithahardG
Well, that would be one way to avoid child support payments I guess?
periwinklepanda
So by killing his so he couldn't have to pay child support?!
FuzzyX
Spending life in prison seems another way to avoid paying up.
friendswithfire
My ex's dad actually purposefully went to jail for a while to avoid paying his child support. Some people.
circlebreaker
Jesus... most people just pay for new identities or leave the fucking country. Where would he even find an HIV-infected syringe anyway?
MightyHank
Should be death penalty.
yourCleverUsername10
Should have his blood replaced with one that's not his type so he suffers slowly. In the last few minutes stop his heart while conscious.
stargazer58
I like your thinking
FuzzyX
His son Brryan Jackson has forgiven his father despite years of AIDS medication that destroyed 70% of his hearing. 2/2.

Forgiveness can be more destructive than vengeance.

His father was a blood transfusion specialist. He crept into the hospital room & injected his own 11 month son with tainted blood.

That's the kind of person I'd have trouble not to just dunk axe into, given the chance.

Back in 1992 that was a death sentence & they expected son to be dead by age 5 but fate/medicine/God had other plans.

That Nigerian deserves a metal for convincing that poor man that the white baby she gave birth to was a "miracle".

this makes Nr. 2 after "virgin" Mary convincing Joseph, that she received the child from God ...
TotallyNotSean
Actually unless the mom's parents or even grandparents had blue eye's, the odds of that being her son are statistically impossible (albino?)
shorr
Nope. The basic chart you saw in bio isn't quite accurate either, but even with that you could carry it for generations

Even if the dad was white the kid would look like milky coffee, not just milk

A vasectomy doesn't stop pregnancy, it just changes the colour of the skin of the baby

I mean... Vasectomy doesn't stop pregnancy. I know a few people who got pregnant. Some swimmers just keep swimming.

Fyi guy was tested by doctor in the cases I know personally. Found to be successful surgery, yet also not. Weird stuff.

Had his wife been unfaithful then 7/8 odds of a baby with black hair & brown eyes. They claim he is the father though with features of both.
JustACommentFarmer
I don't know if it's possible in this case but at least in cases with 2 white parents, it's very much possible (albeit rare) (1/2)
JustACommentFarmer
To have a black child, due to recessive genes I'm not sure if it works the same way vice versa though.
shorr
Skin, hair and eye colour are all determined by a bunch of genes and their different mutations. You can get almost anything on the range
FuzzyX
I am assuming that a DNA test was done to prove he was the father. Such is possible if one of their own parents were white European.
JohnnyTitelips
They don't look mulatto, though. Most likely just albinism.
Jupman
Lol how do you think white people got here in the first place.
JohnnyTitelips
Natural selection preferring lower skin melanin levels in areas closer to the poles?
darknessrapeman
mutations must occur before new traits can be naturally selected
purplecumbrella
Also, if she had sex with a white man, it doesn't mean the baby has a high probability of looking like that. Genetics.

The statement was "If a white couple had a black baby" I see your point, but there's no need to lose your shit.
