It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I’m always skeptical about these “dying in their sleep” stories as he was only 57 until more information is available. While it does happen, it’s very rare when it happens to a person who is relatively young, healthy and has no pre existing conditions, specifically with the heart. And it’s very rare when people pass away like this due to an undiagnosed condition. I’m guessing there was some sort of heart condition we didn’t know about. Suicide is a possibility as well.Dead in his sleep at 56 with no known health issues (at least that the public was aware of).
Can only think heart issue, stroke, or something drug related. Hate to think suicide but it has to be on the radar as well, albeit further down the list (although, by all accounts, Banks was happy and excited about his new job).
Wow. Really jarring, and quite sad.
Drug interactions with alcohol could also be a factor. You never know what medical conditions someone has if they are well controlled, but then some combination of sleep aids, medications and alcohol jumps up unexpectedly and turns the lights out...I’m always skeptical about these “dying in their sleep” stories as he was only 57 until more information is available.

I’m not really feeling the conspiracy angle as much as you are, here. If they suspected suicide, we’d have heard about it by now. Whether he had a diagnosed condition or an undiagnosed condition (certainly possible), he passed and that’s a shame.I’m always skeptical about these “dying in their sleep” stories as he was only 57 until more information is available.

Why?There’s got to be more to the story than this.
I had an Aunt pass away in her sleep very suddenly years ago in her mid 40’s. They looked through everything to see if something could’ve explained it such as a medication side effect. In the end they could not find any foul play other than the fact that she had heart failure.I’m always skeptical about these “dying in their sleep” stories as he was only 57 until more information is available.

Sorry for the loss of your Mom so young...So sad. Lost my mom at 57, I can relate what his two boys must be going through. Life just isn’t fair sometimes.
Really liked him as a writer.
