He suffered from a 'massive heart attack', I wonder what that's like... A heart attack is basically that the hart stops beating right?

Anyway, that's pretty tragic, but also a bit bound to happen. With a bit of logic he could've figured out that ain't healthy...

Apparently he's still managed to make quite a few new episodes of Man vs. Food since his publicly unannounced death on July 7th, 2010.

Just for the record I am in the library, and am farting hysterically. I've gotten 3 people to move so far.

That's cardiac arrest. A heart attack can trigger cardiac arrest but they are not the same thing. Lots of people survive heart attacks. Not many survive cardiac arrest unless they are already in the hospital when it happens.

"...Heart attack is the most common cause of ventricular fibrillation. Less common causes of cardiac arrest include respiratory arrest (loss of breathing function), choking, trauma, electrocution, and drowning..."

honestly, I have no idea what the kid you were quoting intended to mean with his post, but no one thinks that choking->respiratory arrest->cardiac arrest=a heart attack. If we are talking straight myocardial infarction (which usually is equated to heart attack) then no, choking does not lead to heart attack.

just saying.

I quoted wrong but hopefully my point is still made.

MI=Heart Attack. MI=/=Cardiac Arrest.

Cardiac Arrest=Cardiac Arrest. It can happen for a number of reasons.

To be honest, i know nothing on the subject. A quick google search and that's what i found. After re-reading what i posted i realize that its talking about causes of cardiac arrest, with heart attack being one of em. Amirite?

You got it now. Choking can cause cardiac arrest, but choking does not equal cardiac arrest. Same with heart attack. Its the most common cause of cardiac arrest, but a heart attack in and of itself does not equal cardiac arrest. Who knows if I am making sense here, Im loaded.
