Why Do People Dead Of Massive Heart Attacks ?

Why do people who are in perfect health drop dead of massive heart attacks? Just had a family friend die last night at church of a massive heart attack. She was only 63 and in perfect health (including her heart). This also happened to my grandfather at 70 (perfect health, including passed all heart tests .... and then a massive heart attack).

Because you've missed out one word ! - "apparently ".... it should read " apparently perfect health". There are many people out there suffering from potentially fatal, - but invisible conditions.
