Or simply because of the genetic roll of the dice when he was conceived
produced some congenital defect. A friend's friend 26 year old son died
of a heart attack in his sleep just a few months ago. I know the
pathologist who did the autopsy and she is quite competent and thorough.
No drugs were involved. He had a congenital defect.
