This is not accurate. You can quit smoking for a decade and still die from the effects.

We have to stop putting the blame on individuals though. We allow companies to develop products and foods that are unhealthy utterly for us. No one is immune from this part of the equation.

Individuals have the right to drink, smoke and live their lives as dangerously as they want. "Heathy people" who live long lives cost a frickin fortune the last ten years of life with assisted living and constant medical care. Not to mention dimentia or Alzheimer's. People who drink and smoke die quickly and save the health system boatloads of money. Inevitably on top of the exorbident health costs "healthy people" end up with a stroke, cancer or heart attack at 90 just like Luke Perry. And besides the 10 years of intensive heathcare and the ultimate cancer/stroke/heart attack .. "Healthy people" usually have regular checkups and expensive medical diagnosis procedures even when younger for decades. Healthy people drain the health dollars like pigs.

It is very unfortunate for Luke Perry and too bad he did not get the warning type of stroke (TIAJ) as he may still be here.

My good friend's 6 year old kindergartener had a stroke. I guess it's his fault too. Often there is no understandable reason for a stroke. You are a horrible person trying so hard to blame the victim. Check your soul.

Oh my gosh, that is making me emotional! God bless you, Luke! RIP.

That’s a great story in the link. It sounds like Luke Perry was kind.

You are awful to personally wildly speculate on a strangers death.

It's actually not that uncommon, esp if you have high blood pressure. Get your blood pressure checked and keep it down. There's a reason it's called the silent killer

Just googled: “Nearly three quarters of all strokes occur above the age of 65.” It certainly happens in the 50s but it’s much less common and is shocking when it does — especially in someone youthful and fit.

I think I know who Steve, Brandon and Brenda were. Pretty sure I know who Dylan was. Darren also created Melrose Place, Sex and the City and Younger. Churchill 20854 is a special school.

Really? I need more information!

Wow. My only memory of Perry was my roommate’s obsession with 90210 when I was studying post-structural theory in grad school. I also drank a lot of wine that year! This sad news and your post are definitely reminding me of a very specific point of time in my life. This is very odd.

Same! I am also having grad school flash backs.

So sorry for Perry's family and friends. It sounds like he was a good guy.
