Broken heart ?

Hmm, interesting when you consider his vegetarian diet.

Don't forget, he used drugs back in the 60s and his lifestyle over the years. All of that damages the body.

Not so much when you consider his age, plus the fact that he grew up in postwar Britain. Diets weren't very healthy back then.

Was it really Paul?

I thought Paul died in the 60s...

Paul is dead (because THE KING IS NAKED!)

Yes,and was Lennon the only one of them that was middle class?
Paul isn't that old, but I had an apparently healthy 40 year old acquaintance drop dead of a heart attack last fall. It can and does happen.

However, while diet and drugtaking can take its toll, Paul cleaned up quite well a long time ago.

I think Nanannie and Seven of Nine have it right.
