I read something about that online. Testing the limits of how stupid you can be and not die because you forget to breath.

That emergency plane landing earlier in the week "for flu symptoms" seemed an obvious red flag.

I kept thinking that maybe it was the same thing along the lines of that actress, Brittney Murphy.
She took so much medication for her flu type symptoms that it ended up being a huge contributing factor to her death of pneumonia.

Jim Henson of Muppet fame comes to mind; I think he was in his 60s. Still a young age.

I know people do die from the flu, but usually they don't land an airplane because of flu symptoms.

Night before he died, he was taken to the Walgreens by his house. He waited in the Parking lot while someone went in. (TMZ has the pic) His fourth trip to Walgreens that week. It was reported he was pacing and sweating. Sooner or later we'll find out what prescription he was getting filled.

The man looked great. He didn't age one bit so I'm not sold on the premise that it may have been illegal drugs either.
