To you all, my sincere thanks.
I have taken comfort in knowing that Paul didn't do anything wrong, and that presumably it was just one of those tragic things.
I have since found out that his father died from heart disease, which confirms some of the things already said.
Northern Chique and Zorin, my special thanks to you for your lengthy and informative posts. I have enjoyed reading them, and I will certainly be making more effort with my own weight and fitness, and generally trying to take more care of myself!
We all know how precious life is, and no one will know that more than you medical people and it isn't until something of this nature occurs, that you realise just how fragile and uncertain that life is.
Could I perhaps suggest to the moderator that another thread/forum might be considered? One where the expert advice of NC and Z is more better highlighted? (until now, I had never even been on the medical forum before) Not only on this particular subject but perhaps on a more general 'look after your body' sticky forum (if there is one then apologies)
I have no doubt that all of us aviators would benefit from reading and understanding the comments of these two eminent people and others equally qualified in their own fields of expertise.
My thanks to you all once again.
Kind regards
The Swinging Monkey
