Pops literally dropped dead. An autopsy performed on the day of his death determined that his history of coronary artery disease led to a myocardial infarction (heart attack) and ventricular fibrillation with the immediate cause being an occlusive coronary thrombosis in the left anterior descending artery resulting from a ruptured cholesterol plaque. Tim Russert died from the same... walking into a hotel lobby, muttered “what’s happening” and dropped dead.
It’s not uncommon and it’s quick.
People young and old drop dead every day,there’s no mystery to it.
My dad was all of 63. Lived a tough life, TB took his father, he was fostered at 12, his mother was crazy, she died at 97. The depression, WWII, Korea, Vietnam... a hard life. Then Bam! Gone. I never really knew him, it stirs my memories sometimes.
When it is said “life is short” that’s not a lie or a conspiracy. That’s the truth the greater percentage of the time.
TB took my father at 32….sad .
