General George Patton died of a heart attack. Spaghetti western director Sergio Leone also died of heart failure, Shemp Howard, the fourth Stooge, and Carrie Fisher, too. Apart from those famous people dying of cardiac arrest, you know what else they had in common? All were only 60-years-old. I turned 60 two weeks ago and climbed Enchanted Rock on my birthday, stopping every few minutes to check my heart rate to see if this was my time to go.
