Error a death off Ulua Beach, Maui, has me wondering about scuba safety

Many heart attacks happen first thing in the morning because as we wake up our biological oxygen demand increases before our heart rate does. If the heart is already compromised this can push it into an arrhythmia that kills the patient.

Fact is, everyone dies. In many cases, what they are doing when they die has no bearing on the eventual outcome.

no idea if that stat is correct but you last comment is very true. There is no telling when someone will have a cardiac event occur. everyone likes to blame diving but its just by chance that it happens to the diver the exact moment they are under the water ...

You seem to believe that heart attacks only happen during strenuous activity. The primary cause for a heart attack is the condition of the heart.

The most common occasion for a heart attack is sitting around in the morning, about breakfast time. The second most common time that heart attacks happen is during sleep. Sleep is not very strenuous, either.

I am sorry to have caused such disbelieve.
Just to clarify, being a doctor specialised in internal medicine which includes cardiology I do know a tiny bit about ACS.
I was just shocked to learn that someone keeps statistics about anything like ACS in bowling.
What would be the benefit of knowing how many fat people die of heart attacks while bowling?

What would be the benefit of knowing how many fat people die of heart attacks while bowling?

What would be the benefit of keeping track of causes of death during any activity, with attendant comorbities?
