Jim had a family history of heart disease--his father had his first heart attack at 35 and died of another one at 43. Someone told me (perhaps apocryphally) that Jim had been ignoring chest pains during runs just before he died. Everyone talks about lifestyle and heart disease, but about half the variance in heart disease is due to genetics.
Good to hear Notah will be okay. He lived on my hall one year.
