Has it been revealed what he died of ? http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/bob-crow-de...-aneurysm-kill ed-rmt-leader-20-years-after-father-1439794 "Another factor that can increase the risk of heart attacks is stress and family history. Crow's father George also died from a heart attack in the mid-1990s, the Daily Mail reports." OK, it's the Daily Mail, but if it's true it's an absolute clincher, I'm afraid. The only one of my wife's cousins to have died of a heart attack was similar build to Crow and drank a certain amount (accountant to a brewery) but his father died of a heart attack. He died without children so we won't know if the next generation would have had the same problem. Although Crow senior was presumably quite a bit older (perhaps mid/late sixties) when he died, as it was only ~20 years ago. |

To some extent a heart attack would be the common consequence of varying causes but "Recliner" has already posted the reference to an aneurysm which would probably have become evident during routine tests during the time he was being dealt with at Whipps Cross hospital. |

Isn't it true that almost all deaths are ultimately the result of a heart attack? "Heart failure" rather than "heart attack" which now seems to be reserved for when the heart's own blood supply is compromised. Like any other pump, a heart can "fail" from the POV of not being able to function because of external factors as well as just because of an internal fault. "Heart failure" WRT certifying death is regarded as a "mode of dying" ("you should avoid completing the medical certificate with a mode of dying as the /only/ cause of death" [Medical Certificate of Cause of Death - Notes for Doctors, http://www.uhs.nhs.uk/media/suhtidea...fordoctors.pdf reproduced in similar variations by various NHS bodies]) while "heart attack" doesn't actually get a mention; modern death registrations IME tend to be fairly specific about which bit has failed where and how but can still "lead in" to the root cause via something that by itself would be vague. One in front of me ATM starts with "Respiratory failure" which is effectively on the banned list in the form "respiratory arrest" but it is then further qualified with "Emphysema". OTOH there are effective exceptions such as "Old Age" which can be used for over 70s if there is in practice an absence of a more specific cause; in the Queen Mother's case, she managed a single cause of "Extreme Old Age" while my 89y old grandmother had everything listed except old age. |

Yes, I was confusing heart attack and heart failure. I used to get a flea in the ear for lumping together heart attacks and coronary thromboses but ATM they're together in the First Aid manual; unfortunately there's a new edition due out so something is bound to have changed as well as the resuscitation protocol. |
