Per Andre Jute:
I went off him when I discovered that his idea of a gourmet meal
was a hamburger. He died at 52 while out jogging. Not exactly a recommendation.

I cannot cite, but my recollection is that he was afflicted with
genetically-induced high cholesterol ("Familial Hypercholesterolemia").

My brother had it, didn't quite make it to 45.

My impression was - at least back then - that, if you've got it, you're
dead meat.
