Wonder how many have died from heart failure on a boat as opposed to a multi
sinking?


An odd thought, it brings to mind a few unrelated things: A friend of mine had
a J105 which his mother thought should be called "Sheer Terror." Also, the J
that got crunched in the fog in LIS this summer (I think it was a J105), the
owner died of a heart attack while the boat was sinking.

The one case that I know of where a cruising cat capsized on the Bermuda run the
owner died while trapped below because he couldn't find his diabetes medication.
The rest of the crew survived, but several monohulls were lost with all hands in
the same storm.
