Tomm Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 No way, that's sad news he was in a wheelchair recently wasnt he...he had a stroke or something?No he had (alledgedly - the Doctors never really knew exactly) a rare form of MS which only affected his legs. Not really related to the heart thing. Guess it's just bad luck. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
