Teen who was only survivor of murder-suicide that wiped out his family dies suddenly aged 19

A teenager who was the sole survivor in the murder-suicide of his immediate family in 2024 has passed away suddenly at the age of 19.

Then-17-year-old Sha Reh was discovered suffering from a gunshot wound inside his home in West Valley City, Utah by a family member in December 2024.

Police confirmed that they later found five other family members deceased inside the property. Authorities identified them as Sha’s mother Bu Meh, 38, and his siblings — sisters Kristina Ree, 8, and Nyay Meh, 2, and brother Boe Reh, 11.

Following the harrowing events, it was reported that Sha’s father, Dae Reh, 42, had shot dead his wife and children before taking his own life.

Sha was the only survivor of the incident. The teenager, shot in the head, lost his vision, but otherwise made a recovery.

Via a GoFundMe page established to help pay for funeral costs, his extended family sadly confirmed that Sha had died this past weekend.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Sha Reh. He passed away unexpectedly in the home of his aunt and uncle on Sunday, January 11, 2026,” the statement on the page reads.

“Sha Reh lost his mother, father, two sisters, and brother in a tragic event that was widely reported in the news media in December of 2024. Sha Reh was also a victim of the shooting but miraculously survived his parents and siblings.

“Despite losing his vision in both eyes, and over the course of the past 13 months, Sha Reh overcame numerous obstacles on his pathway to healing.

“He successfully enrolled in the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind in January of 2025, where he learned to communicate in Braille and live independently.”

In May 2025, Sha had revealed that he was keeping a positive outlook despite having lost his vision.

He said: “I strive to do good things in this world. I am very grateful and blessed to have this opportunity to be happy.”

Rest in peace, Sha Reh.

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...
