Wait...wait...I'm sensing a connection here.
56 is in that heart attack age group for men to begin with. Add genetics and what he admits to doing with his body. What do you get?

The guy was my age. Hopefully, the shot didn’t have anything to do with it.
I think most actors, actresses, and personnel had to take the shots to work and now it is starting to show up, Lance Reddick for one recently and others. I only see this accelerating in the next 2 to 3 years and soon out will not be possible to cover up and ignore. And yet Fauci wants an annual booster that we know does not work but a short time but the effects are for a lifetime.
He was only in 4 movies and was not in Under the Rainbow.
Dead?
Your dwarfaphobic comment is totally inappropriate. You’ll get blacklisted by the Lollipop Guild!
It was just a small comment...
What’s really being said here is the guy died because NIH was short staffed.
