I'm really curious about this brothers cause of death.

I won't lie seeing people like him who are seemingly in great health and appear to be taking care of themselves die freaks me out.
RIP to him

But once I started following him on IG, I wondered if there was a sort of internal illness. I'm no doctor though
but his posts were extra reflective, not in the talking about it sense, nor in the person needing validation sense,
but like someone nearing the end and has already made peace sense.

It’s hard to tell with us because our skin doesn’t crack. Underneath the skin and inside our bodies could tell a different story about our heart condition, cholesterol level, etc.

RIP to Lance
You're right. I heard MLK, had he not been killed in 68, wouldn't have lived much longer anyway because of heart issues that plagued his family.

His brother, A.D. King died of a heartattack at age 38 and three of his children died of heart attacks

"After his death, Martin Luther King's autopsy found that while he was just 39 years old, he had the heart of a 60-year-old. Doctors concluded the pressure he had experienced in his career had stressed and aged his heart."

You are right, there could be things going on beneath the skin that may lead to unknown health problems.

Agreed, it doesn't make sense.

It took me a while to watch Fringe as well but you'll enjoy it.

Natural causes means things like a heart attack.

Being that he looked good a day or two before his death it’s something within his body that caused his death “Naturally“.

They stated natural causes and I'm like wtf is natural about dying at his age? I wonder if he has previous illnesses because his eyes always have a yellowish jaundice look.

Still a shock. I've never seen Fringe, but I think I will start to look at it.

Fringe is on my top 10 shows of all time.

Take your time with it.

You will not be disappointed

I can easily see that with his life. Folks of today have no idea what that was like back then.

I tried and the people faces started changing to creepy things. I don't do those type of shows. lol

I'll have to binge watch Bosch again to see him if necessary lol

I understand

But trust me it gets so much better and unpredictable

It's the best modern version of x-files honestly

Bosch is good... a little slow but it's worth it.

Just watched In The Mouth of Madness the other day. He's definitely already got a great body of work under his name if he never stars in another film. Hope he wins the battle.

Agreed - a great career and resume to this point.


Most recently watched him in Peaky Blinders (he played a villain). That series started back in 2013, but we started watching it in 2020 or so and caught up in real time for the final season from last year.


Strength to him and his family.
