We already know that swine flu is more likely to kill people in the peak adult years.
Children younger than 5 years old. Adults 65 years of age and older.
Persons with the following conditions:
Chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension), renal, hepatic, hematological (including sickle cell disease), neurologic, neuromuscular, or metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus);
Immunosuppression, including that caused by medications or by HIV;
Pregnant women;
Persons younger than 19 years of age who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy;
Residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities.
We know that people can and do die very suddenly.
We know that it has been linked to heart attacks and other sudden organ failures.
We know that people with MRSA (Mercer's Disease) are way more likely to have serious problems with Swine Flu.
So keep your eyes peels for anyone saying anything about him having had a fever, cough, sneezing, and the other common flu symptoms.

Mercer's Disease is not professional terminology. It's a name made from an incorrect interpretation of the acronym MRSA. (Pronounced Mersa)

in the last hospital i worked in, we had to put gowns on and take extra careful precautions for patients with MRSA.
well, one day i noticed that the doctors were the only ones in the room that didn't have extra gowns on and who weren't taking contact precautions - when i asked why, he said that practically everyone has MRSA, and that it resides in our noses, so he wasn't worried about getting it at all... in fact, the only one's who weren't gowned up in the whole O.R. were the surgeons, because they knew the truth that everyone has MRSA; we just had to take contact precautions because it was hospital policy, but since that policy was made, just about everyone had contacted MRSA since then...

I did post a link on the MRSA infection. As you can clearly see in my second post.
Since he died of a heart attack apparently, one can assume he had some heart or hypertension issue, n'est pas? Sometimes working backwards from a known event is the confirmation you need to support the theory. Has a cardiovascular problem, because....he had a massive heart attack.

I didnt see the link because I was writing my post at the time. My apologies for this and the condescending tone
