No clue what Arrow is.
People live long lives because their genetic code lets them. Others live short lives due to fragile genes. Your fate is pretty much determined at conception.
When I was 11, I wanted to marry him.
based on DC comics Green Arrow she portrayed Laurel Lance / Black Canary,
funny!
Prayers for his suffering to be eased.
For those (like me) who just aren’t going to run marathons, walking is a great way to stay youngish. I am 51 and walk at least three miles a day. It definitely helps keep me youngish.
Cooler than Mike Nesmith? No Way! LOL
Genes are 80% of it, but smart choices and excellent medical care make up the other 20%. If your genes should decree a death at, say, 50, wouldn’t you do what you could to add another decade?
Meh, My plan is to wander into the woods and let the wolves have me.
I dont buy the dementia excuse, ...

You never know. I have a friend 55 that has it pretty bad. His father had it too.
The anti-alcoholism drug "Librium" can cause a dementia that appears to be Alzheimer's. It should only be used for a very short time (like 2 weeks), but it is sometimes prescribed longer, and people think the patient coincidentally has acquired dementia.
Horrible, evil drug. There are far, far better anti-alcoholism drugs.
I did not see him in Nashville when he was in his prime but I remember his interview in the newspaper. He said that “America is a musical melting pot that is still melting.” My father saw a TV interview with him and was shocked that he had a dangling earring in one ear.
It lets him die quietly without pain from organ failure. They can administer the morphine thru the IV, and end it for the family.
Our family is dealing with a former Special Forces V. Nam vet who has “mild” dementia. One of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met - a sharp mental giant who lacked formal education but has slipped - - I think David too has this condition.
Sad. Used to watch that show as a kid.
I understand that's not fun at all! Except for the wolves, of course.
Bull farking crap!
My Dad was an athlete and Marathon runner till the day he died at 62, He was 57 when he had the 1st heart attack.
I don’t buy into the genetics BS either.
His twin brother who lead an IDENTICAL Lifestyle died at 76 from respiratory failure.
Life is what it is
Cassidy aint dead yet, but he aint in his prime either
Sucks getting old.
