I keep hearing that brother Meade died in the VA hospital. I find that really hard to believe but I find it harder to believe that anyone would be able to find that out. They have kept this death almost secret. The lake city reporter didnt even report it . I have looked all over the internet trying to find something and first coast news is the only one that I could find. Its kind of important for me to really know if that is where he died because of what I have been taught. Does that person making this claim have actual proof? its important to me because sometimes I feel like I have been brainwashed about certain things and I just want to be able to figure this out. I am still an avid follower of God, but I just want to make sure Im feeling and doing the right things. Please let me know! thanks
No matter who you are deaths are public record. Finding out if someone was in the hospital at the time is also not that big of a deal. Anyone could call a hospital and find out if someone was there, you might not be able to get details unless your authorized family. Medical staff are bound by HIPPA so they can't discuss someone's medical details but that would not stop them from telling someone that a person is in a hospital or that they have died. It takes about two weeks to a month to process a death certificate. There should be a county records office that could confirm that information. IIRC the public can obtain such information in some manner but have to be a relative to get a notarized certificate of birth or death.
My $.02, trust YOUR feelings and Your relationship with your religious beliefs instead of worrying what other people are trying to tell you they should be.
