Atkins wieghed 250 pounds when he died of his heart attack. So much for that.
Way to, you know, ignore the facts, and misrepresent the man. :rolleyes:
Atkins Death (Snopes.com) Official records listed him as weighing 195 pounds upon entry to the hospital, which was not for cardiac arrest, as you've implied, but for his slip and fall on the ice which caused him a severe head contusion.
He also didn't die of a heart attack, as you've stated, but a "blunt impact injury of head with epidural hematoma" according to the official death report.
Furthermore, he gained the weight during his comatose state, largely due to water retention.
Just the facts, m'am.
