The autopsy showed that Fixx had suffered multiple smaller heart attacks in the days leading up to the fatal one, but Fixx simply ignored them. Fixx refused his wife's request to take exercise stress tests or to see a physician although he often complained about pains in his chest when running.
Turns out he had a grossly enlarged heart and atherosclerosis. One coronary artery was blocked 95%.

“Jump to death”???
OK, which is it? Did Fixx die while running or did he jump to his death?
