Listening to all the heartfelt statements of many of his fellow journalists and high government officials was just hearing what we the public knew and felt about him all along. I number among his loyal following.
After hearing the doctor who conducted the autopsy I wondered could he have been saved?
Tim's heart had arthrosclerorsis in the left descending artery. It appears that a clot formed causing an arrhythmia from which he died. Arrhythmia is the heart's shaking like jello instead of pumping blood. It appears to me that there was time to save him if he had been injected with the medication I refer to as a clot buster. He was still alive when they got to him. They did use the paddles to shock the heart which should have brought it back to its ryhthm as a pump. Was such medication delivered to the heart? If done quickly it does work. Was the clot a complete blockage or not quite so but did cut off blood supply to cause the arrhythmia? Sudden collapse such as was the case here is not unusual but many people who suffered a heart attack have severe pain and an onset of symptoms giving advance notice of the thrombosis. While the left descending artery is one of the key coronary arteries it is said you have a better chance of surviving a clot in that artery than the others.
Perhaps he could not be saved. Still I would like to know if they injected him with the "clot buster" and it did not work. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family. He was a good man and the saying is appropriate that God loves the good and sometimes takes them when they are young. May he sit beside the Lord and watch over his family.
