I saw in the media about how fat he was at his death and how bad his heart was etc.  I don't know what happened once he went into the coma, but I can assure you that 2 weeks before he fell he was fit, sharp as a tack and NOT FAT!!!   
I've always wondered how old he would have lived to be had he not fallen...
