Looks a bit limp-wristed too. Perhaps that contributed.

Always weirded out when someone croaks who's so much younger than me; rich, too.

The in-flight meal must have been pretty bad!

He does look older than his age, but he started at Amex 35 years ago as an intern, so his age is probably correct.

Another article said the flight was from Tokyo to New York, so if he was in the air a long time a blood clot could have got him.

What I find funny is Amex charges extra for credit charges made in foreign countries.

I thought they were supposed to be the “travel experts?”

Maybe he had a sushi dinner before his flight.

It is a moderately common name of Irish origin. I'm willing to bet that most of them are not particularly fond of that TV show.
