Corso had a massive (and unexpected due to previous medical
exams showing no seriously occluded coronary arteries) infarct.
Initially, the intensity and degree of heart damage was judged
to be life threatening.  However, and mysteriously, Corso was
released from the hospital within (if memory serves) the week.
His cure was adjudged near miraculous.

After being sent home with an extremely positive prognosis,
Corso suffered a final infarct, again unexpected, which finally
killed him.

Steve, the mystery of his death is it's timing and the highly
unusual circumstances of his two heart attacks.  Whilst easy to
holler "conspiracy," it's easier to merely look and say, "Hmmm,
this is highly unusual!"  And then ask why this might be so.

Personally, there is little I put past our and other
governments, including murder, assassination and general really
bad stuff.
