Probably. Heart failure exacerbated by stress no doubt.

I suppose you don't get to 42 and make yourself a millionaire without hard work and stress being a big factor. Poor sod.

Wonder if his parents are alive, and how they are

Hard work never killed anyone?

I'm sure it was how he liked it but stress can be a killer, particularly in the form of heart attacks.

No arguments from me. Some people just love stress and constant work. Not me though
