He is a long haul trucker and, yes, he was under a lot of job stress when the heart attack occurred.

I never watched 90210, but I was shaken by Luke Perry’s death just because of his youth. Time has become such an enemy.
i googled Walter Egan's open heart surgery - according to the article that came up he had a triple bypass on Oct 10, 2014. i do think his surgery was elective and not emergency though, just remembering from his facebook posts at the time. i saw him perform live in DC on 5/28/2015. less than 7 months after his open heart surgery. i asked him about the surgery too at the time. he was in great shape and seems to have been since.
