Thanks Dennis for letting me know, much appreciated.
Sadly A ruptured heart anurism has taken other people of Astromomy too, Yuji Hyakutake the discoverer of one of the brightest comets in our time, certainly a Great Comet that i saw span most of the sky, died the same way. The actor who played the doctor on the great Sci Fi series Babylon 5 also died the same way.
Some people are lucky enough to get a warning of an anurism unexplained strong pain. My mother was one of these, she had a big anurysm on her adominal aorta, she was operated on with a dacron sleeve sewn in, it saved her life. Once an anurism actually begins to rupture nothing can be done, often even if medical aid is immediate. A mates father had a anurism rupture while he was in hospital and he still died, very quickly. Many ppl dont know they have one, as unless there is pain, there is no other sympton of anurism.
