How would they prove a connection between the robbery and the heart attack given that the heart attack happened several days after the robbery? Yes,if it happened during the robbery then it wouldn't be tough to prove.But days afterwards.....a defense medical examiner or cardiologist could say "given the data that I've seen this guy's heart was a ticking time bomb.I'm surprised that he didn't die ten years ago.Being startled by the ringing of a telephone could have been enough to kill him".
