Another tragedy on the slopes this winter, but this time not due to an avalanche or trauma. Forty-Seven year old John Denapoli of Lunenburg, Mass. died this weekend due to a perceived heart attack. He was found unresponsive on the lift at 4:40pm and police have ruled his death as not suspicious and not ski related. Although he died in a manner many of us would not mind, 47 is way too young to die and our thoughts go out to John and his family and friends. RIP John.

I’m not sure you can die from a “perceived” heart attack.
