They believe his death is related to heart attack. He was at an airport on his way back to Jam.

Decades of Heavy Drinking?
Was the heart attack somehow related to a certain lifestyle? I know very little about Roger, but I I noticed about a week ago that he had promised to give up the drinking of hard liquor.Originally posted by MdmeX View Post

August 11th he gave up drinking? 17 days later he has died?

My dad used to hang out with his friends and drink on Friday evenings. 25 years ago he stopped, but his friends continued. They have all since passed. Its OK to have an occasional drink, but too much hard liquor is toxic to the body.Winning means you're willing to go longer, work harder, and give more than anyone else - Vince LombardiComment

Can't see the wisdom in jumping on a plane so soon after surgery.Body need rest and the altitude put you at risk for embolism.THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!
"Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.
"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.Comment

Reasonable question, a lot of livestyle decisions can result in premature death. However when it comes to heavy drinking.
12 Health Risks of Chronic Heavy Drinking
Anemia
Heavy drinking can cause the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells to be abnormally low. This condition, known as anemia, can trigger a host of symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness.
Cancer
"Habitual drinking increases the risk of cancer," says Jurgen Rehm, PhD, chairman of the University of Toronto's department of addiction policy and a senior scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, also in Toronto. Scientists believe the increased risk comes when the body converts alcohol into acetaldehyde, a potent carcinogen. Cancer sites linked to alcohol use include the mouth, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), esophagus, liver, breast, and colorectal region. Cancer risk rises even higher in heavy drinkers who also use tobacco.
Cardiovascular disease
Heavy drinking, especially bingeing, makes platelets more likely to clump together into blood clots, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. In a landmark study published in 2005, Harvard researchers found that binge drinking doubled the risk of death among people who initially survived a heart attack.
Heavy drinking can also cause cardiomyopathy, a potentially deadly condition in which the heart muscle weakens and eventually fails, as well as heart rhythm abnormalities such as atrial and ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation, in which the heart's upper chambers (atria) twitch chaotically rather than constrict rhythmically, can cause blood clots that can trigger a stroke. Ventricular fibrillation causes chaotic twitching in the heart's main pumping chambers (ventricles). It causes rapid loss of consciousness and, in the absence of immediate treatment, sudden death.
