Dr. Atkins died of a blunt force trauma to the head and was 72 when he died. Don’t believe every rumor you hear.

Yup! Murdered by a spurned lover.
Bob Atkins looked great for 72. He debunked most of the criticisms of his low carb diet. I have been low carb for 20 years. I look pretty good for 64.
Atkins fell on an icy sidewalk and suffered a serious head injury. That is how he died.
