Thanks for sharing this rather interesting article on Lee's possible heart attack. I think based upon the evidence that Lee probably did die of coronary heart disease based upon his fatty unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and the stress of the survival of a whole nation placed on his shoulders. However, the fact his ear was creased I think has nothing to do with his demise. For example, both my father and mother died of heart disease and neither one of them had creased ears. If anything, I noticed that my father's ears grew larger. I also read throughout the years on the internet that broken blood vessels around one's ear or distended veins around one's ankle were signs of heart disease. I find this information to be wrong in my opinion and my doctor's opinion and certainly my mother's opinion. David.
