Dropped dead during dinner of a heart attack at 46. Dude had interviewed with the Knicks hours earlier.

Safe to say he didn't wake up today thinking it was his last. Scary.

Wasn't he 42 at Arizona?

That team with Kerr, Kenny Lofton, Jud Buechler, Tom Tolbert, and Sean Elliot.

Damn. Sixers are snake-bitten with untimely big-man deaths recently:

Caldwell Jones 64
Darryl Dawkins 58
Moses Malone 60
Sean Rooks 46

Apparently he was both. He must have switched from 42 to 45 pretty early on.
