Medas’ costar from “Floribama Shore,” Aimee Hall, shared in a now-removed Facebook post, as reported by Deadline: “We lost our brother, our best friend, our heart — Kirk… I already miss his voice, his laughter, his presence.

What is necrotizing pancreatitis?

Cleveland Clinic explains that necrotizing pancreatitis is “when pancreatitis inflammation is so severe that it causes tissue death (necrosis).” This can cause a battery of issues, according to the clinic.

Short-term complications include infection, which the clinic says occurs in up to 20% of cases, in addition to hemorrhaging and fluid collections in the surrounding tissues of the pancreas.

The clinic says that necrotizing pancreatitis happens in about 20% of pancreatitis cases. The organization says acute pancreatitis causes about 275,000 hospital stays in the U.S. per year.
