Its like the footballer who had a hear attack on the field and everyone was wishing him well. 124,000 people have heart attacks every year but that one had a lot of tv coverage so most people knew about that one heart attack.

How many heart attacks occur during football matches - not many at all. Every year horses die at the Grand National. Every weekend people don't collapse while playing professional league football from heartattacks.
