The cause of death was not disclosed. If not treated, it can lead to a diabetic coma and death. According to a recent report, type 2 diabetes (T2D) caused the deaths of over 100,000 Americans in 2021, the second year in a row that diabetes-related deaths have reached this mark. 1.

The second leading cause of death, heart disease, killed 5,030 more men than women. Untreated, diabetic ketoacidosis can lead to loss of consciousness and, eventually, death.

Ted Fujita's groundbreaking work in research and applied science saved thousands of lives and helped Americans prepare for and respond to dangerous weather phenomena. He blamed microbursts for the 1975 Eastern Airlines Flight 66 crash at New York's Kennedy Airport. Much of Fujitas later work was devoted to describing how these downdrafts interact with aircraft during takeoff and landing. Ranging from F0 to F5, Fujita's system quickly became the standard for accessing tornadoes as Fujita was renowned as an expert in the field with his previous work. Try again later.

Dr. Fujita, born Oct. 23, 1920, in Kitakyushu City, Japan, received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1943 from Meiji College of Technology and a doctoral degree from Tokyo University in 1953 for his work on typhoon analysis. During his career, Ted Fujita researched meteorology, focusing on severe storms such as microbursts, tornadoes, and hurricanes. The email does not appear to be a valid email address.
