I can only speak to the issue of the heart attack. Did he have a heart defect that he was born with? Who knows? When it happens to a neighbor, we often don't have access to all of the medical details. Often we think we know everything about someone when we don't. When I was young I took lots of unnecessary risks that not even my parents and siblings knew about, much less neighbors.

His death is one good reason why they say: "Before starting an exercise program, see your doctor."
