Very sad to hear, Thomas Morrison has passed away this month in his sleep of a heart attack...His sister posted this on Facebook...

...

"My little brother, Thomas Randolph Morrison (Randy as we called him) has passed away suddenly, apparently of a heart attack in his sleep. He was one of a kind. Creative, fiercely loyal and loving, opinionated about everything, and so excited about his upcoming Pygmalion and Hermes parades. He was the designer and sculptor for both. His sculptures are in a half dozen parades in New Orleans floats every year. They recycle them because they are that good. He loved New Orleans and influenced Mardi Gras for two decades, taking the floats to a new level of artistry. Can't believe he is gone."
- Stacey L Morrison

"The cause of death has not been determined", I wonder if there's an ongoing investigation to determine this...

Living on bags of peanuts and irregular sleep patterns doesn’t sound healthy. Could be genetic. 53 is too young in any case.

Spoke to a friend yesterday for the first time in a while. 6’4” competitive body builder, always the standard for eating healthy and exercise. One of the most positive, nicest people you’ll meet. Felt fine, has excellent FREE health insurance from his employer and uses it for regular wellness checks. After a random conversation with a resident cardiologist at work he went for a screening.

Four stents.

Body building has never struck me as particularly healthy, even without 'roids. You're forcing your body to grow way more muscle than it's supposed to have.

There are different methods with different results. Bodybuilding is aesthetics, power lifting is brute strength. Any hobby taken to extremes is suspect in my book.

Bob Saget's head injury was so severe it was like he'd been hit with a BASEBALL BAT, says doctor: Autopsy report reveals 'major trauma' which 'could NOT be caused by a slip and fall'

Bob Saget's autopsy report has appeared to raise more questions that offer answers about the cause of the his sudden death on January 9, which was attributed to a fall that fractured his skull in multiple places and led to bleeding across both sides of his brain. Health experts are asking how thoroughly his death was investigated and what caused have caused Saget such a "significant blow to the head," which one doctor said appeared consistent with taking a baseball bat to the skull or falling 20 to 30 feet.

IT's always so much more tragic when it is the kind of passing on that could have been somehow prevented.

Friend of mine was a model of eating healthy. Always cooking hand picked best organic food. Then she called me to pick her up from hospital. She had so many ulcers in her column that doctors had to cut off more than 2 feet off. She barely survived.

Did she drink alcohol regularly?...Too much acidic foods can also cause ulcers even if healthy organic kind...

No she only drunk socially, if ever.

She was a jewellery designer, so she worked long hours bent over a small table. When I spend even half an hour in that position I get lots of pain in stomach, because of obvious compression of intestines. So that was my opinion, she was perfectly healthy and had healthy nutrition, but just because she was sitting a whole day in that unhealthy position created these ulcers.
