very very sad.
however for a "health guru" as they called him, 76 seems very young.

My grandpa smoked a pipe for 40 some years, and is on his way to 102 this year.

Just saying.

Jim Fix, the 1970's jogging guru died at a young age.

Wikipedia:
James Fuller Fixx (April 23, 1932 – July 20, 1984) was an American who wrote the 1977 best-selling book The Complete Book of Running. He is credited with helping start America's fitness revolution by popularizing the sport of running and demonstrating the health benefits of regular jogging. He died of a heart attack while jogging at 52 years of age

Kind of ironic

Let’s be honest his workouts were for soft people who were never fit. He was flabby.
He was huge his entire life, a fat kid that was bullied and shy and miserable that was his whole purpose for doing what he did. He wanted people to be healthier and feel better about themselves.

Oh right this is the interweb, never mind.
