I mean this post with the upmost respect, but as someone already noticed, he did not look the same over the past 12 months. He seemed to get puffy, just like Elvis did before he died. Maybe he knew there was somthing wrong, or chose to ignore it. He looked so much different than he did on 3sco. Even if you flash back to Hearts Afire he looks a lot different than he did. I just wish people would pay more attention to thier bodies. Any amount of weight gain or loss, and your body is telling you something.

From all I've read to this point neither John or his family new of this heart defect. It often goes undetected.

I have already stated this on another post, sorry if you already this elsewhere...

John Ritter did not know that he had a heart prob, and as far as puffiness compared to his 3's day well c'mon that was years ago and with age sometimes you gain weight. Yes he looked bloated in the face and if he was on ANY medication for anything else that will bloat you and make you look swollen also caffiene will do that to you if taken in large doses. The cast did say that he was napping the day he died and that he took usual naps so nothing was out of the ordinary. Being that he napped a lot he may have taken caffeine to help him get energy or he may have been medicated for some other reason that is insignificant to his death.

Hmmmm.... I've actually been thinking about several things I've noticed about that day....

So, did he feel well during the day except that evening when he started sweating and vomiting? The case thought he had food poisoning, and the tribute mentioned John parked in the front with the rest of the cast when he's usually parking in the back? It makes me wonder. :confused:
