I remember the day it happened here in the Detroit area. Listening to the game, but didn't here the ending of it. Didn't know he died until I saw the news a little later. The sad irony is that Henry Ford is one of the better heart Hospitals. One thing that jumps out at me is that he had a very thin athletic build. Not someone you would think would have heart disease so early in life. Unfortunately a genetic disorder.
(He was also a great athlete in college at Texas Western in the mid 1960's. Broke the school record with 86 receptions one year.)
