Wow.
So many people dying from cardiac arrest lately, especially young adults in H.S. sports.

It really is a difficult thing to pinpoint the singular culprit of cardiac arrest but it is increasingly becoming more regular in "young" people. I know of a doctor, same age as me, mid-30's, suffered a heart attack without any prior indications he was likely to. It completely changed how he lived (luckily) after that, to the point of paranoia almost. He watches and counts everything he eats, and he cooks his own meals, and exercises rigorously. He lost a lot of weight and is in better physical shape, and yet it still doesn't mean he's not capable of having another one nor diminished his chances.

Mmmm.........
I know exactly where you are going with this, and this isn’t the place. I’m so sick of the stupid conspiracy theories all over social media, that we don’t need that crap here. Leave it at the door.
I think partially we just find early deaths more surprising now. Especially among celebrities, who (theoretically) get better healthcare & cushier lives than average.
A century ago lots of people died at young ages too. We read about some historical figure who died at 45 and say "Man, life really wore people out earlier back then." Now we think it shouldn't ever be happening.
John Ritter died of a heart attack in his mid-50s. I think it was an unknown heart defect.
Martin Sheen had a heart attack during 'Apocalypse Now' in his 30s. Drugs & stress.
George Lucas was hospitalized for chest pains during ANH. Massive stress.
Carrie Fisher just died from some kind of heart event at 60. Chronic addiction damage & heart disease.
George Michael died of a heart attack in his early-50s. Heart disease.
Arnold Schwarzenegger had a major heart surgery in his 50s. Genetic thing that runs in his family. (Yeah, the steriods probably didn't help. On the other hand he's a lifelong healthy eater & fitness junkie.)
This stuff happens. Lisa's father Elvis died of a heart attack (chronic drugs & obesity) at 42. Elvis's father died of a heart attack at 63. His mother died of a heart attack & alcholism damage at 46. Lisa Marie herself had a long colorful history with drugs & rehab.
