I read that 66% of heart attacks have no warning and are fatal. The classic guy grabs his chest and then cut to the recovery room with him smiling weakly only happens 1/3 of the time. The rest of the time a loved one or friend finds them face down. They usually seem to be able to call out to someone once or walk 10 feet before they die.
If you've ever seen someone go out from a rear naked choke - it takes 6-10 seconds. You realize you're fainting, get tunnel vision, can't breath, call for help or get up from your chair, and hit the floor.
Luckily, under 65 YO, cancer is the major killer, so you get to lose all your hair, lose all your money, and lose all your dignity. You can try to keep a smile for your family while secretly hating everyone who will go on living, trying to make deals with god, hoping, and then spending the last week of your life drooling, crying, and being in unbelievable pain.
Yes it sucks to have foreknowledge of death.
