Famous physicist Stephen Hawking died suddenly aged 76…
Suddenly? He had lived with motor neurone disease for decades, which is decades more than most folk who suffer with it. At 76, while not exactly old by modern standards, the old ‘three score years and ten’ still applies somewhat. So we have a septuagenarian who had long outlived his life expectancy dying ‘suddenly?’ Personally, I was expecting him to pop his clogs long before that.
The state of modern journalism, eh? A bit like the shocking news of a 95 year old woman in Australia dying from (with?) covid last year. Shock horror in the headlines over something that most reasonable people would regard as a good innings and nothing to see here. Likewise Hawking frankly.
Well one second he was alive, next second dead.
You could maybe get that down to ms, but either way it is “suddenly.”
Unexpected? No.
Well, yes, but that means that we all die suddenly.
Are you sure that it wasn’t a case of his batteries needing changed?
