Unfortunately, such cases are not isolated, and not only the death of Decl was unpredictable. Here are some more famous people whose death was for those around them just as sudden.
Joe Dassin
The famous French performer, whose songs are still loved by many, died in August 1980 from a heart attack. He flew on vacation to Tahiti, taking with him his mother, two sons and Claude Lemel, his best friend and author of the text of many of his songs.
A few days later, the singer, along with relatives, went to a restaurant. There was a cardiac arrest. Death was instant, and even the fact that among the visitors of the restaurant was a doctor, did not save Joe Dassin. It was the third heart attack in a year, the singer had planned to recover from Tahiti from the previous one, but, unfortunately, his life was interrupted in incomplete 42 years.
Alexey Maresiev
This is the same Maresyev, about whom the “Story about a Real Man” was written. Hero of the Soviet Union, holder of many orders, pilot, after amputation of both legs, he learned to fly again (with prostheses). He worked until the last day of his long life.
18 May 2001, Alexey Petrovich was going to a concert at the Theater of the Russian Army in honor of his upcoming 85 anniversary, but almost before the concert his heart stopped beating. The cause of death was called a heart attack.
Sergei Mavrodi
The creator of the largest financial pyramid in Russia died on the night of March 26 on 2018. On this occasion, the media give different information: some report that an ambulance for him was caused by passersby, who saw that the person at the bus stop felt bad, others say that the ambulance to Sergey Mavrodi arrived at the home address.
However, it is precisely known where he ended his days — this was the Botkin Hospital. The doctors did not manage to reanimate 62-year-old Sergei Mavrodi - a heart attack took his life.
Kerry Fisher
She was an actress and screenwriter, but most are familiar with the role of Senator Leia Organa. Kerry Fisher died 60 years old: she flew from New York to Los Angeles, and her heart stopped flying. The passengers sitting nearby saw that the woman was not breathing, and began to reanimate her, they were helped by doctors, who were on board.
The actress was taken to the hospital, it was reported that her condition is stable, but four days later she died. After the examination, experts stated that the cause of death was sleep apnea (breath holding), as well as other unknown factors. In the blood of Kerry Fisher traces of drugs were found, in addition, she suffered from atherosclerosis, perhaps these factors played a role.
Whitney Houston
One of the causes of death of the singer was also named heart disease. Whitney Houston found her hotel room in Los Angeles 11 February 2012, in the bathroom, resuscitation did not help. The 54 th Grammy ceremony, held the next day, was dedicated to the deceased.
A month after the funeral, the autopsy results were made public, the experts ruled out a violent death and noted that the 48-year-old singer died as a result of drowning, atherosclerosis, and exposure to cocaine. For many years, Whitney Houston was treated for alcohol and drug addiction, which aggravated the course of the underlying disease.
Elvis Presley
The king of rock and roll died in 42 of the year. The reasons for his death remain a mystery, but the official version is cardiac arrest. In the last years of his life, Elvis Presley suffered from obesity, diabetes and other diseases, and also used drugs - opiates, barbiturates, amphetamines.
Traces of all these substances were found in his blood. The singer died on August 16 1977, his girlfriend Ginger Alden found him (also in the bathroom). Elvis was taken to the hospital, but resuscitation did not help. It is likely that cardiac arrest occurred due to a drug overdose.
Medical advice
“The sudden death of rapper Decl fills the heart of a cardiologist not only with sadness and sympathy, but also with anxiety for thousands of similar deaths that can be prevented,” writes cardiologist Yaroslav Ashikhmin on his Facebook. - The main cause of sudden (cardiac) death (unexpected death not related to trauma within an hour after the onset of the first symptoms; we are talking about practically healthy people who felt well the previous day) is arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia). Other common causes are coronary heart disease (CHD, myocardial infarction) and structural heart disease (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
All patients with known heart disease (by itself, with arrhythmias and coronary artery disease), all athletes, patients with syncope, as well as those who were suddenly dead before 60 years should be examined, which will show the risk of sudden death. A normal ECG is one of the best methods that will show the risk of sudden death (but alas, not all doctors are able to read it correctly). The ECG analysis includes an assessment of the duration of the QT interval (and PQ), the search for signs of Brugada syndrome, which can predict the development of life-threatening arrhythmias.
It should be borne in mind that the “predisposition” to sudden death associated with a special variant of a number of cardiac proteins can be inherited: approximately 50% of sudden deaths occur in people without diagnosed heart disease who consider themselves healthy. Therefore, it is good to take an ECG and analyze it at least once in a lifetime.
In addition, this is really one of the few situations when you need to analyze the genome of people who consider themselves healthy. The study must necessarily be carried out by the method of sequencing the genome, the analysis of genetic polymorphisms in this case is not suitable.
Prevention of sudden death in people at high risk is drug therapy or the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). These devices constantly monitor the heart rhythm and in case of development of a life-threatening arrhythmia, “will strike the heart with a current from the inside” and restore the rhythm ”.
