He looked older than 57 to me. Hadn’t noticed that was his age. Possibly his health should have been a constant consideration here for the guards.
Somehow, I just don't think that was their highest priority. From Wiki
McDougal (August 25, 1940 – March 8, 1998) died of a heart attack at the Federal Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas, aged 57.Or, possibly another way of saying "Dead men don't tell tales"?Jim McDougal suffered a heart attack while in solitary confinement.
Left alone for too long, when Jim McDougal was taken out of solitary, instead of attempting to defibrillate his heart with equipment on hand at the facility, he was driven over to John Peter Smith hospital.
Not the closest hospital to the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center.
