Jethrine321, he fell "more than fifty feet", according to witnesses at the event. That would have been far enough to kill him on its own, but he lived about another year, and died at the age of 55... 😞

Could it have been the Heart attack he had which caused his fall be the actual cause of his death? How high up was he when he fell and what injuries did he substain?

It’s not the fall that gets you. It’s the sudden stop.
