He was only 39

His portrayal of Lafayette was magnificent, he was a fine actor. 39 is too young. He left behind a young son too. RIP Nelsan, we'll miss you

The term "heart failure" is sometimes used to indicate that a person died after years of cocaine abuse, but not due to an overdose.

Makes more sense than CHF or something like that for a dude in his 30s.

My partner died of heart complications at 40...he was a vegetarian who maybe had a beer once in a while...save your judgement

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

I was gonna say the same thing. Typically is disclosed as a "heart infection." I've had a few friends pass away because of it unfortunately

8 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 6

Was he involved with cocaine?

No the term heart failure means heart failure

But is that the case here? If not, why even bring that up? Show some respect

Though African American men are statistically more vulnerable to heart conditions.

Actually my friend who has never done drugs got endocarditis from an infection related to a dental visit. He eventually had heart failure.

Like I needed another reason to avoid going to the dentist.

May I attempt to cancel this out? You are at far, far greater risk for dental related heart issues with untreated oral issues.

Or he's just a guy around 40 years old with risk factors.

8 years ago | Likes 42 Dislikes 2

Those are some insane risk factors

Nah dog, get educated. Heart conditions aren't just for old people
