If $X$ is a strong deformation retract of $\mathbb{R}^n$, then is $X$ simply connected at infinity?
Let $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, and assume there is a strong deformation retract from $\mathbb{R}^n$ to $X$. Is $X$ necessarily simply connected at infinity?
(Edit) Follow up question: if there is a ...

Is every path connected space continuously path connected
Recall a topological space $X$ is path connected if for all $x,y \in X$ there is a continuous function $f\colon [0,1] \to X$ such that $f(0)=x$ and $f(1)=y$.
Say that $X$ is continuously path ...
