Chris Supalla was a vibrant, active young man from Portland, Oregon. Born on November 4, 1988, he lived in Tigard, raised in Beaverton, and was an accomplished tax analyst, musician, and outdoor enthusiast. Known for his humor, kindness, and zest for life, Chris graduated Cum Laude from Oregon State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting & Finance. He worked for Precision Castparts from 2012 to 2021. Chris's talent for music started with piano in elementary school and later as a self-taught guitarist. He loved outdoor adventures, from BMX biking to downhill mountain biking, and 4-Wheelin’ in his Jeep Wrangler. His passion extended to rock climbing with his girlfriend and sister in the Pacific Northwest. However, Chris's life took a tragic turn after a nasal surgery intended to relieve a stuffy nose. This surgery led to Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS), causing severe symptoms like constant air hunger and breathing difficulties. Despite trusting medical advice, Chris's condition deteriorated rapidly, and he couldn't find relief. Three months post-surgery, Chris's unbearable symptoms pushed him to the brink. On a quiet May morning, he walked into the woods behind his home, leaving a note for his family. Chris's death certificate states the cause of death as asphyxia due to ligature hanging, with Empty Nose Syndrome listed as a contributing factor. Chris's story is a tragic example of the severe consequences of ENS, a condition many in the medical community fail to acknowledge. His parents urged Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to inform patients about the risks, but their plea was dismissed. This film highlights Chris's story, the devastating impact of ENS, and the need for greater awareness and accountability in the medical community. Watch Chris's story to understand the human cost of this overlooked condition and join the call for change to prevent further tragedies.
