    Doyle was a smoker who died of a heart attack at 71. This is completely
    unremarkable, and still happens today even if patients get on
    cholesterol-lowering medication early and have everything managed
    according to best medical practice.



    Thanks.

    -a-a-a i wonder if he noticed any early signs.



    We don't know much about Doyle's wives, do we? esp the Louise.


    Jean Elizabeth Leckie, Sir Arthur Conan DoylerCOs second wife,
    was indeed a trained vocalistrCoshe was accomplished as a singer and had studied music. While she was not primarily known as a writer, she was described as an intellectual and was deeply involved in her husbandrCOs
    life, including his spiritualist endeavors. After their marriage in
    1907, she became known as Lady Conan Doyle and was recognized as a spiritualist, sharing her husbandrCOs beliefs and experiences in that field.

    We know quite a bit about her personal life: she was
    athletic, passionate, and devoted to her family, raising three children
    with Conan Doyle. She was also known for her strong personality and was remembered as a central figure in Conan DoylerCOs later years, fully supporting his public and private pursuits. However, she did not achieve independent literary or artistic fame outside of her association with
    her husband and the spiritualist community.
