I remember the good old days when the only rumor about Rod Stewart was about his semen drinking adventures.

How the fuck did that get spread before the internet so widely around the country that even kids in small-town elementary schools first heard about it on the playground?

Myself included.

Right before dying from eating Pop Rocks and then drinking a Coke, Mikey from the Life Cereal commercials told me that Rod Stewart had to get him stomach pumped

EARLY 80s even.  

Damn the Rod Stewart thing is a blast from the past. I was in the 7th grade in '79-'80 and I remember hearing kids talking about it and thinking "What does that mean, how is that possible?"    Young me didn't know about a lot of things.

 

As to how it started:   https://www.grunge.com/274444/the-strange-urban-legend-about-rod-stewart/

It turns out that the rumor originated with his former publicist, Tony Toon, who started it as revenge after Stewart fired him. In an interview with British GQ, Stewart elaborated that Toon told the tale to a journalist, which is how it had spread, and that he'd never considered suing for slander. Stewart also shared that he fired Toon because Toon had been sharing a room with the young son of Stewart's then-wife Alana Stewart, "brought a bloke back" to the room, and accidentally awakened the boy, who saw the whole thing. Finally, Stewart pointed out that if the rumor were true, one of the sailors would have, well, surfaced by now and confirmed it. That's a good enough "reason to believe" Rod if ever there was one. 

Or maybe that is just the PR damage control story.

In case people are interested:

Acclaimed actress Linda Lavin, widely recognized for her role in the CBS series “Alice,” died on December 29 due to cardiopulmonary arrest, with lung cancer identified as the underlying cause.

Similarly, the Atlanta rapper who just died, died in his sleep due to cardiopulmonary arrest - his wife claims that he didn't do drugs, but that is awfully young to have a heart attack without mention of an underlying medical condition.

A guy that lived down the street from us who was an avid tri-athlete died in his house from a sudden heart attack.

 

 

 

 

In 2016.

Had a friend from high school die suddenly of a heart issue at 37. The autopsy discovered he had a congenital heart defect that had previously gone undiscovered. This was 2019.

Yeah, that is the likely scenario outside of health issues like drug abuse, obesity, diabetes, High BP/Poor Cholesterol levels…

I was playing basketball at Tulane and a late 20s AA had a heart attack on the court. We gave CPR immediately, an ambulance was there within 5 min, and the guy still died with undiagnosed congenital heart issues. Not relevant, but my buddy had his backpack and watch stolen while we were giving CPR.
