Nope, cancer. He was 61, same age as me. Still too young in my opinion.

He passed away from cardiac arrest.Actual name was Roderick Toombs.

Wife read it to me this morning, guess all I heard was he was diagnosed with cancer last year. So was the arrest contributed to by the cancer?

Passed away in his sleep from cardiac arrest .Had cancer in 2006 but was fully cured according to doctors.

Guess I'd better start listening better when the wife is reading me a news story. Actually I think I was responding to an iboats topic while she was reading it.
