Not if he had a headache when he went to bed. His eyes would have been red or bloodshot if he were strangled. I am 100 percent he died of old age from smoking, overweight, lack of exercise, horrible eating habits. But strangulation? Very doubtful. He was 79 not 59. He lived 7 years longer then average men.
But you can be assured, THAT angle was already covered IF this is foul play
No he did not beat the actuarial table.
It is around 80 for men in his demp in the US.
Autopsy. The family is secondary, as there are national security interests here.
Without an autopsy, there will be a myriad of conspiracy theories.
PLUS what folks don’t want to acknowledge is that the doc said he had a shoulder injury but he was not healthy enough to operate on....that is what high blood pressure and heart disease will do to a person
