RIP DURRELL SHELL (January 12, 2012 – November 19, 2022)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 1:20 p.m.

Addison’s disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency or hypoadrenalism, is a rare disorder of the adrenal glands.

The adrenal glands are two small glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They produce two essential hormones: cortisol and aldosterone.

The adrenal gland is damaged in Addison’s disease, so it does not produce enough cortisol or aldosterone.

We do not know if the decedent was injected with synthetic mRNA.
