Let's hope that nobody's points go the way of Kenny McCormick this week.
How did Mama Cass die?
After last week, I know that everybody is looking at this question and thinking, "Is the obvious answer correct again, or is he going back to the obvious answer being wrong?" Use your better judgment, but remember that I'm only interested in the correct answer--whether it's obvious or not.
Your answer is due by Tuesday 6/24 at 4 PM EDT. An extra day since I was busy all day Friday. I'll put the Monday and Tuesday questions together next week.

I think the story that she choked on a fish bone is an urban legend and that she actually died from a heart attack

Not from choking on a ham sandwich as was reported but from a heart attack caused by her extreme dieting.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Heart attack
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

She died from a heart attack - complications from obesity. She most definitely did NOT choke on a ham sandwich

Yeah, almost all of you spotted this one. Choking on a ham sandwich was wrong, wrong, wrong. She died of a heart attack. Not much else needs to be said about it.
