Can Heart Attack Causes Sudden Death?
Good morning! A friend of mine died last night, I don't know the cause of her death yet. According to her partner after coming home from work she rested for an hour then went on to take her bath. We worked from 8am-5:30pm then she had an overtime for 3 hours. It was really fast. Were not expecting it to happened. Would it be possible that the cause of her death was heart attack?
