Beloved New York Knicks basketball star, Anthony Mason, suffered a massive heart attack on February 14th and was rushed to a New York hospital where he underwent four surgeries that same day. On hearing the news, players and fans sent their well wishes to the superstar and his family.
Sports broadcaster Tina Cervasio shared a typed statement from Mason’s son, who updated us on the state of his father’s health:
This is not an Onion story, this is for real! Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he once feared that terrorists could use the electrical device that had been implanted near his heart to kill him and had his doctor disable its wireless function.
Cheney has a history of heart trouble, suffering the first of five heart attacks at age 37. He underwent a heart transplant last year at age 71.
Cheney says that he and his doctor, cardiologist Jonathan Reiner, turned off the device’s wireless function in case a terrorist tried to send his heart a fatal shock.
Details are still fuzzy but HBO has confirmed that James Gandolfini, the former Soprano’s star, has died after suffering a heart attack in Italy. Gandolfini was 51 years old and was best known for his role as Tony Soprano on the hit HBO show “The Soprano’s.”
