someclown Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Ruptured aortas kill >90 % of people almost immediately. He really didn't stand a chance. That's why it is so important to control hypertension. (High blood pressure is the #1 cause of aortic aneurysms--other causes include atherosclerosis, Marfan syndrome and syphilis). Symptoms include severe or abdominal pain that moves around (as the arteries are rupturing/dissecting, they follow a pattern), or sudden collapse. Sorry, just a small teaching point to those interested.I really enjoyed him as an actor. I grew up watching Three's Company. So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
