...eight years later. At an age where heart failure is not unusual.
edit: To downvoters, heart disease is the second biggest killer of people between the ages of 55 and 64. Simple facts. If you don't like facts(like DcFunny), you don't belong here.
Heart disease is still the number two killer of people aged 55-64. Your incidence numbers are meaningless without the context of what people die of. Only a little over twice that are killed by cancer in the same age group. Are you going to suggest that cancer having a less than 1% chance of killing you at 61 means it's unlikely? The fact is dying at all at any year is "unlikely" if you're going to look specifically at individual odds for all possible ways you could snuff it. Still happens all the time.
...are you actually arguing that heart disease stopped being the number two killer of people 55-64 over the last four years? You're a goddamn troll uninterested in facts. You just want to pursue whatever bullshit you feel like believing.

Actually, no. The chances of a 61 year old having a fatal cardiac incident is roughly 0.4%

Ha, that's funny because it proves you think that 2010 = 2014. Clearly attention to detail is not a skill you use often.
