    very sad, yes, preventive check ups may help in many cases, but sudden cardiac death sometimes cannot be predicted. but yes avoid risk factors especially smoking also.

    Gone are the days when preventive health check ups were considered un-necessary.
    Not only police but for every one- every year check up for BP sugar and blood fat check up - can alert us for possible danger in advance.
    Deep fried restaurant food or bakery items with Vanaspathi/dalda - is inviting early death( hardens the arteries or clog them).
    Every day consumption of vegetables and fruits and restricting chicken for weekend is having a healthy choice .
    Newtons 3rd Law : every action has equal and opposite reaction.

    All the bad food choices and disregard for our health backfires before we reach 50 years!
