"The type of sex that he was engaged in is the type that's totally unacceptable to our community,"
And as it's totally irrelevant, why the morale judgement.
If this guy had heart problems, and the doctor failed to warn him against strenuous activity, and he died on a treadmill, I don't think people would think it's so ridiculous.
Exactly.
Or, while chasing a suspect, as mentioned. A few years ago, a deputy in my county died chasing a burglar up a hill. He was 50, but in what most people would think decent shape.
But still, no one--even a cardiologist--would expect a 31-year-old (who happens to be employed as a police officer and expected to maintain a good level of fitness) to be likely to drop dead of a heart attack.
I guess you're assuming that the "no one" and "cardiologists" have never examined the patient, to come to that conclusion.
A cardiologist, and not stupid people with little or no medical training, should certainly expected something:
Martinez's death from atheroschlerotic coronary artery disease, agreeing with the plaintiff that the doctor did not properly diagnose and treat Martinez for high blood pressure, chest pains, shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat.
"Take two aspirin, walk it off, and call me in the morning."
The comments section for the article shows that there should be no comments section.
Often, kibitzers are dumber than juries. At least the jury was exposed to some facts before making their decision.
