Fixx died at the age of 52 of a fulminant heart attack<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction>, after his daily run, on Vermont Route 15<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Route_15>in Hardwick <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardwick,_Vermont>. The autopsy revealed that atherosclerosis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis>had blocked one coronary artery 95%, a second 85%, and a third 50%. [*citation needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*]Some who opposed his beliefs said this was evidence running was harmful. [2] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fixx#cite_note-bloomberg.com-1>However, Fixx came from a family where the men had poor health histories. His father suffered a heart attack at age 35, dying of a second at 42.[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fixx#cite_note-2>
