Heart attack at 47, and he looks reasonably fit too in that linked video from 2019 (age 44).

What to do with this information? I don't know. Maybe work on cardio, stop coffee?.

Maybe work less? I know four people who died of heart attack. Two of them were in terrible shape (obese, no exercise), while the other two were in very good shape, but were also workoholics in stresful jobs. One of them even got the attack while jogging in the park (he collapsed in a rarely frequented part of the park and was dead before anyone noticed) He was a CEO of a decent-sized company in his early fifties.

you cant talk about the potential causes in here.
It was on the announcement Twitter linked, it said heart attack.
Heart attacks at 47 are rather rare. There is probably some underlying cause but it cannot be discussed here.
hope its not the covid vaccine side effect!
maybe he had genetic predisposition to heart attacks or cardiovascular disease. Maybe the stress on his heart went unchecked for years. Maybe it was a sudden embolism.

Whatever the reason was, we should all be having regular heart health checkups or preventative care that is readily available and to help. I mean, by now we should be having watches or devices that can monitor and read our heart health and vitals 24/7. It's 2022, ridiculous.

Can any expert here help me understand why his heart attack was not reversible by administering tPA to dissolve blood clots?
