Stick it bone head - 'Besides, it's unusual for someone that young to have a heart attack.'
You can tell it to his widow.
He was 41 years old last September, and had just returned from riding a bicycle with his 15 year old son.
I have seen many people die from heart attacks, some only in their 20's, coronary failure - HEART ATTACKS know no age limit, nor cares to define some little stupid semanic wording.
High School athletes, college players - there are hundreds each year that die from cardiac arrest, which is a TYPE OF HEART ATTACK.
Go play in traffic until you learn to grow up and not get stuck on 'wordmanship',
Heart Attack is a coloquial phrase that means ANY malfunction associated with the heart that leads to trauma of the organism, some - but not all are fatal.
Let me clear something up for you about drowning - my wife's brother and his wife have been the caretakers for 8 years now, for a boy who drown when he was 2.
This 10 year old is PVS - non responsive. He lays where they put him and stares blankly at whatever is in front of him. He doesn't laugh, he doesn't cry, he lays there like a sack of potatoes and stares. They feed him soft foods and water - he doesn't
swallow, just a little substance - slowly, and let it slide down the throat without choking him.
They clean him up, change him, & take him to the doctor each and every week for 'evaluation'. He's about as responsive as a grapefruit with eyes.
Go up and look into those eyes - dialated pools of ink, you can't tell if he has blue, green, brown, or hazel eyes - they don't work.
Does he think ? Probably not, what do the scans tell ? Random synapses firing at anything - anywhere with no rhyme or reason. He will never improve.
He is alive in the sense that moss is alive and growing on the North side of a rock.
Do you think that's a fair lot to this boy ?
I don't want that for myself or my family, and neither do my wife & kids.
We've seen it point blank in front of us. It isn't pretty.
