Shades of Jim Fixx

Brian Maxwell - the founder of the company that makes Powerbars - died on Friday of a heart attack. Maxwell was 51-years old and in his youth he was an Olympic class long distance runner.

Jim Fixx was the author of the bestselling The Complete Book of Running died at age 52 in 1984 of a heart attack while running. I know the two deaths are totally unrelated but the first thought I had when reading about Brian Maxwell's death was "Just like Jim Fixx!"
