Some Other Famous Tragic Victims Of Heart Disease

Americans remain shocked at the death of top broadcast journalist Tim Russert due to a heart attack at age 58.

One of the most famous celebrities to die of heart disease at a young age was singer Bobby Darin, who died at age 37. Here is the REAL Bobby Darin (not the one from the movie bio) doing his signature “Mack The Knife” song one year before his death.

And then there was Lou Costello, the cherubic half of the 1940s 1950s comedy team of Abbott and Costello — and a comedy genius in his own right. He died at age 52. Here are A&C doing their famous Who’s On First baseball routine.

An unhealthy heart can break millions of hearts.
