I didn't say that, I asked a question.

Aids is no longer a cause of death if you haven't noticed. It's always listed as something else.

You did say that, in the form of a question ... just wondering what led you to ask it as it seems rather a far-fetched idea when they're citing heart attack. Perhaps he was startled by a ghost. :rolleyes:

AIDS is not a cause of death, although it does predispose one to a variety of other conditions which may, more directly, lead to death.

Don't want to speak for Geico, but Palillo was a homosexual who do have a higher statistical incidence of AIDS. Often cause of death is listed as something else like pneumonia which was actually brought on by the immune system not working due to AIDS.

I doubt a heart attack was "caused" by AIDS though, but maybe a Doc can chime in.

Bottom line for me, he was a funny guy, on a pretty popular show, and 63 is way too young.
 
I was in middle and high school when the show was on, I remember loving it! Funny when you think the actors were all much older than the characters they played, Ron must have been early to mid-20's. Pretty old for high schoolers, even in New York. ;)
