It was a Monday and Mr. Sherman wasn't feeling well. He drove to see his physician, Dr. King. The doctor gave him a prescription and told him to go home as soon as possible. He made a stop at the drug store, and took a seat to wait for his order. Suddenly he dropped off the chair and died on the spot. It turned out a large blood vessel in his heart ruptured. He was known to suffer from angina pectoris.
