Where do you think these blood clots come from? DVT. Older passengers whom sit for too long end up having blood pool in their DVT (usually the lower legs). Once they stand up, the clot breaks off and boom...heart attack. The trick is to wear compression socks, take 1 chewable baby aspirin every 2 hours (blood thinner) and get up and move about the cabin every 1 - 2 hours during long flights (4 - 6 hrs +).

Carrie was overweight, had DVT and had / has a very well known and lengthy love affair with cigs, alcohol and piles upon piles of Colombian marching powder. This shouldn't come as a surprise. She's 60 but her body and heart is 80.

Sad - she was dead for between 10 - 15 minutes. I doubt her brain will ever recover.

The good news is, if she dies - she will become more powerful than you can ever imagine.

David Bloom NBC news, died from DVT at 40 years old .
As I remember, he was spending a lot of time crunched up in a Bradley while covering the Iraq war.
