Found it.
From a book by a guy I used to know.
What’d Gill die from?” asked Calvino. “Death certificate said ‘heart stopped.’”
“Hell, Hank, that’s what the death certificate always reads for a dead farang in Thailand. Don’t matter if it’s a bullet in the head, knife in the gut, drug overdose, it all comes out the same. The heart stopped.”
“They kinda gotta point, Patten. The heart does f*****g stop. So I guess you can say that was the cause of death,” said Black Hank. “I mean they ain’t lying.”
“Jerry’s heart stop all by itself?” asked Calvino. “Or did it have a little help before taking that long rest?”
NOW I get it.
Thx
