Eleanor Gallagher’s obituary starts off like many other obits do. The 81 year old great-grandmother of Nanticoke, PA “peacefully passed away surrounded by family and friends”. It’s not until the 5th paragraph where things begin to get a little weird.
According to the obituary, Ms. Gallagher’s family thinks that former defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau’s departure played a part in the 81 year old’s death.
“Eleanor was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and the family firmly believes that the recent separation of Dick LeBeau and the Steelers’ poor performance this season might have inadvertently contributed to her demise,” the family wrote in her obituary.
To be fair, the Steelers did win the division and make the playoffs. If LeBeau’s “resignation” did contribute to premature deaths, I can only imagine how many babies were brought into this world as a result of Arians’ “retirement”.
In all seriousness, I’ve suggested before that being a Steelers fan does take time off your life. Rest in peace, Ms. Gallagher.
That is not kinda weird. Totally weird. DL departure left a hole in everyones heart but never has he caused someones death lol
