Well a total surprise, spoke to my mate Mick on Sunday night about 10pm just a normal chat, he'd had a few drinks but it is xmas. Gets a call yesterday to say he'd sadly died. His girlfriend got up to get a drink of water about 11.30pm and she found him at the bottom of the stairs. The paramedics think he had a massive heart attack. He was only 40, just seems a waste and totally not sunk in yet. He was a good lad. Went to his house today to see his girlfriend and it just feels weird. Wish he'd just come back...

It's weird, you just dont know whats round the corner.

Sorry for sounding off , but the STW community are always about to cheer you up!

Glad you felt you could turn to us lot for a bit of support. I can't imagine how you must feel so I won't try.

It's very sad when it happens to someone you know so young.

Tough call, my best mate died last year. No words csn really convey the sheer loss but as well as taking time for those closest to him GF and family etc make sure you take some time for yourself. Thoughts go out to you.

Thats shite. I lost my best mate in 2001, we were like brothers. He was only 23. Still miss him now. Gutted for you.

Way too young at 40 Maybe an undetected heart condition ?

Out of the blue like that, it'll take a while to sink in. As you say, you just don't know what's round the corner.

His girlfriend must be in complete shock

My thoughts are with you, as well.

In a similiar situation I went out and did something that would have made him laugh...it made me feel better imagining the smile on his face

So sorry to hear about your loss. I know what you're going through as my mate [only 27] had a heart attack a few weeks ago and we buried him on what was meant to be his wedding day.

As said above be strong for his lass, family and friends. If ever you need someone to talk to then we're all here for you...

Really sorry to hear about your loss, thinking of you and his girlfriend. One day at a time . . . .

I've lost a couple of good mates at around 40, but not sudden like that

It's a bit of a platitude, but think (and talk to his girlfriend/family) of the good times you had - maybe get out and do something that you used to do together & do it in his memory

That's cruel. Sometimes life feels too much like a little narrow ledge.

SantaCruzi, sorry to hear your news.
I had a good friend who was working late in his office. The cleaners found him slumped over his desk after having a heart attack. He was 36 and healthy having run a 1/2 marathon that year; regular gym goer.

You never know what's around the corner, and yes sharing these things is good.

Lost a very good friend a couple of months ago who, for stupid reasons, I hadn't spoken to in a while even though I wanted too. Her death made me realise what is important in life and what I would say to everyone is if you haven't spoken to someone in a while that you really should have then take the time to do it asap as you never know what is around the corner

santacruzsi - I don't know you or unfortunately your mate but please accept my sincere condolences 40 is just way to young.

for what it's worth I've got a big birthday coming up myself and mrs. G has been after me to get into the doc's for a cardio workup.. this horrible news is just what I needed to push me over the edge and get me on that treadmill.

again sorry for your loss.

Had a couple of these over the years. Shakes you up badly. Rather than dwell on it, I remind myself that it is a sign to live a full life and do what you can while you can. You don't know when it is your time, so fill your boots.

As The Flaming Lips tell us:

Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
