    A smoker, sure. But some people smoke for 60 years and don't die of a heart attack. Smoking is unhealthy, but rarely causes you to die of heart failure at the age of 45. Anyone who thinks that reads too many health clinic brochures.

    This being said, it's a good bet his supposed 'overweight' physique and smoking had nothing to do with his heart attack. High blood pressure, hypertension and tons of stress are what did it.

    Thank you for your insight.

    You're absolutely correct. He was not overweight. Yes, he was a "big" guy but he was taller and had a larger frame but Wes not heavy and I've seen thousands of photos and he was not overweight. The high blood pressure, hypertension, stress and
    contrary to what you say, the smoking, I believe, was a contributing factor.

    I'm glad to see that someone pointed out this bit about his "weight issue". Raising a large family, crazy travel and the sort adds up to a LOT of stress.

    Thank you both for your medical evaluation of Wes Montgomery. In future
    medical charts you might want to put an asterisk by at least one
    element: Hypertension is another name for "high blood pressure": They
    are the same thing.

    I'm glad to hear that smoking will "rarely cause you to die of heart
    failure at the age of 45." But opening it up to a broader range of age
    (say from 10-90), "...smoking cigarettes also affects the heart and
    blood vessels and remains one of the most *preventable* causes of heart disease." You can google to find a few hundred pages corroborating that information.

    Those among us without a medical background only know that Wes
    Montgomery died of a heart attack. We can't possibly divine that
    family size or "crazy travel" had anything at all to do with it. There
    are many who find neither of these stressful, but in fact relaxing. Wes
    may well have had a predeliction for cholesterol and high blood
    pressure; statistically, African-Americans do, even without smoking.
    Both of these can lead to heard desease.

    And now an analysis of what *really* killed Duke Ellington, Audie
    Murphy and Ty Cobb...

    Yes. Thanks for the clarification as I have a relative with hypertension and know the difference. My mistake for being redundant in my statement as I was trying simply adding to a conversation. As for the smoking, I did not suggest that it wasn't a
    contributing factor, that would have been the other person who made that remark. I merely pointed out that he was not overweight.

    You could have made your point without making pompous remarks such as "adding asterisks" and "those of us without a medical background". Your points might be salient but really lost with your delivery.

    And nobody is "divining" when they talk how large his family was and the stresses associated with it. That is a fact, not a supposition or guess. Two of his brothers, Buddy and Monk, who had been interviewed about Wes having to shoulder a lot with
    these responsibilities as a husband and father. I guess they were also "divining".

    But what would they know. They were only his brothers.

    Yes, I could have, but that wouldn't underscore the pomposity of your claims.

    I don't like these bogus "facts", you don't like my punctuation. Fair trade.

    Millions of people "shoulder responsibilities" without heart desease;
    this is not a confirmation regarding the medical details of his
    passing. Calling this "divining" as the "cause of death" is accurate.

    Some people live a life of vastly greater stress and don't have heart
    attacks. It could have been a contributing factor, or it could have
    been irrelevant, just like his consumption of fried chicken, or
    cigarettes. You haven't hardly walked back enough. Along with you two,
    his brothers also aren't medical personnel.

    But what would they know. They were only his brothers.

    I'm glad you've underscored that: A sibling relationship too confers no

    Thanks, I think it would indeed make me feel better to add this: I've
    talked big about things I knew little about, or boasted at various
    points in my life, and had people call my bluff. I felt foolish and
    then I did what you can't: I said I was wrong, and when appropriate, I apologized. It was so much easier than dragging out the pretense. Hell,
    I've made friends through that kind of honesty.

    What I didn't do was whine about the other guy's punctuation,
    rhetorical style, and "$7 dollar words". While on that topic,
    "loquacious dialogue", would imply that both us were verbose; I think "monologue" or "soliloquy" was the word you might have been searching
    for. And "insistence of persisting": Kind of repetitively repetitive,
    no?

    Ah, that void in my soul that can only be filled by speaking reasonably
    to others has been filled!

    Your points might be salient but really lost with your delivery.

    Yes, I could have, but that wouldn't underscore the pomposity of your claims.

    I don't like these bogus "facts", you don't like my punctuation. Fair trade.

    But what would they know. They were only his brothers.

    I'm glad you've underscored that: A sibling relationship too confers
    medical expertise.

    Okay. You need to fulfill some void in your life with your insistence
    of persisting in the usage of $7.00 words and loquacious dialogue. If
    it makes you feel better, have the last word and you tell all your
    friends how clever you are. I promise, I won't respond.
    Thanks, I think it would indeed make me feel better to add this: I've
    talked big about things I knew little about, or boasted at various
    points in my life, and had people call my bluff. I felt foolish and
    then I did what you can't: I said I was wrong, and when appropriate, I apologized. It was so much easier than dragging out the pretense. Hell,
    I've made friends through that kind of honesty.
