If he went in for a heart attack, they would have done a cardiac cath to see the status of his coronary ateries. That would have gave them an idea if he needed a stent, balloon, or bypass graft. I am a nurse and the majority of the patients that come in with an MI in the field, if they are caught soon enough by the EMTs, will go to ER, straight to Cath Lab, and then to Step Down with just a simple stent. The fact that he ended up in ICU makes me think he was down too long in the field, or that he had such a major blockage that he needed a bypass graft. Even a bypass can have its complications after surgery, it is rare but sometimes the blood vessels they pull from the legs and attach to heart, are not on good enough and they will bleed out. Unless they get back to surgery in time its game over. The ejection fraction of his left ventricle may have been completly compromised as well, unable to sustain adequate blood flow to the brain and other organs. Or he could have thrown a clot. I doubt the last part, because usually you are dosed with plenty of blood thinners such as Lovenox. Most often it seems, the younger you are when you have a heart attack, the worse the outcome. Eldery patients with long term heart problems will usually survive, as their coronary ateries living with years of neglect will adapt around blockages. Curious to find out what really happened.

he was cool, I liked him in green mile a lot... They can say whatever they want, as far as I'm concerned, when it's your time, it's your time?

Yeah he didn't die from heart attack, he had one back in july and never recovered right, but he did pass away :(
