I had a very good friend during college days, with whom i lost contact when college was over. Almost after 2 decades we reconnected and while talking he told me that he had survived a massive heart attack. As far as i know him, and still, he was a teetotaller, who did regular exercise and was cautious of his food intake. He was a good family man, a regular church goer, a charitable person and most of all a very humble guy.
When i enquired, how this happened to him after following such a systematic life, he said that his *cholesterol levels were very low and the doctors too suggested that might be a reason that contributed to the heart attack. The good cholesterol HDL was 18 at that time, which was very low. We didn't go much into the technicalities, both being non-medical guys.
I read somewhere, that studies show depression, violence and suicidal tendencies are related to low cholesterol. But if you come across this person, you will sham all those studies.
* Low cholesterol and low potassium levels could be life threatening.
