With all his health issues I am not surprised. I will bet that the cause of this death is directly linked to that nasty clot he had in his lungs a couple of years ago.

Massive stroke. You can get more details in the announcements from yesterday and earlier today. Discovery has a note from his sons.

Thanks, Phil, for the entertainment & education. And the crab!

Phil Harris! A man's man who took on a job very few would hazard and did it well!
Farewell Captain Phil! You made your mark on this earth and it is a deep wide and indelible mark indeed!

A steady diet of stress, coffee, Red Bull and cigarettes could not have helped, either. Nevertheless and whatever his faults, Capt Phil was a real man among men. The world’s less for his loss..

His smoking and apparent lack of fitness made this outcome pretty obvious.
Too bad.
But, I guess he lived the way he wanted.
