    I had this exact same thought. It definitely sparked a 'talk' with my husband. We recently had been focusing on cutting down on fatty foods.

    Poor James. He will be missed.

    I am saddened to see such a young man die like this. I had the same problem 3 years ago at 42. CAD. My doctor said 6 more mos and I would have had the big one. Now 3 years and a quadruple bypass later I am in the best health I have ever been in. My main problem was genetics

    Don't know if it was just genetics, but he's always been overweight. And weight will always be the number one factor for health risk for the general population. Lots of large actors have died young from heart ailments/disease: John Candy, Chris Farley, Michael Clark Duncan to name a few.
