What happened to Jose Lima?

The All-Star right-hander who spent 13 years in the major leagues died Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was 37. "He was a man full of life, without apparent physical problems and with many plans and projects on the agenda," his wife, Dorca Astacio, told ESPNdeportes.com.

Update:

I know he died from a heart attack, I guess I am wondering what really was going on. He was young & healthy. I think there is more to this.

    Lima died at age 37 from a massive heart attack at his Los Angeles home on May 23, 2010.

    And I bet that it seems pretty young to have one, but he couldn't help it if God decided that it was time for him to die. And plus the fact that heart attacks are hard to survive. And his last professional appearance came on July 6th, 2006 for the New York Mets, so he was out of baseball for almost 4 years, so if he does get into the baseball hall of fame, it will be after his death. And plus by the look at the story I have for you, it looks like this all happened in his sleep. So hopefully he is not suffering any more pain.

    Edit: Duh why are you asking, you say you want to know what happened, but I don't think that we can tell you anymore then what he know. Death has decided it was time to knock on his door. It is not clear why people might get longer lifetime then other people do. But these are the ways thing happen, people do get longer lifetimes then some other people do, so it might bot always clear why a person in their 90's might still be alive, when a person dies in their 30's, or not matter how old they are.
