Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, hypertension and living alone (all applicable to Graham) are all risk factors, especially for men, for a sudden and untimely death.
Middle-aged guys, particularly those with a family history, should consider getting a heart scan that yields a calcium score. The scans can also pick up thoracic (but not abdominal) aneurysms.
He was also reportedly a very heavy drinker as well. Some say an alcoholic.

My wife still grinds every day. 10 hours a day. But she lives by the mantra "work harder not smarter" and no I'll never tell her that (believe me, i've tried).
I will grind when required (usually when something is fucked up). I'll pull the 80 hour week when that happens but the norm is 50. The thing I've learned is you need people that don't rely on you to keep the trains running. They may not always be able to fully develop a concept (new workflow/process/product, triage a disaster fully, etc.) but they can get 80-90% of the way there .
I used to be able to dedicate myself to one thing and was really good at it. But now I've got to run 5 different things. No time for specialization. I need people that can think independently. I'm getting close to where I can turn my back for long stretches. I think I'll enjoy that once I get there.
@larsiu 80 hour week. good lord. you've still got stamina. i can't do it anymore.
let's analyze this...
Ukraine wouldn't want anything to happen to one of their biggest supporters- TRUE
Russia wouldn't mind, however- TRUE
Likely no shenanigans, however, given his age and health- TRUE
Potentially a pulmonary embolism, given that it can cause sudden death and often follows long periods of prolonged sitting (e.g., during a long flights)- INCORRECT, in this case, as it was an aortic dissection rather than a much more common pulmonary embolism (affecting 1 in every 1,000 people yearly, vs. aortic dissection affecting ~1 in every 35,000 people yearly)

Go back to lawyering. 80 hour weeks are a piece of cake and can still make most happy hours.
@co-hoosier i like what i do. it just doesn't come with retirement/pension/health insurance/disability/life insurance etc. and i have a 5 and 15 yr old.
i hated lawyering with a passion. i liked going to court. nothing else. certainly not hte paperwork, discovery, depos, administration, clients. just the judges and court
