Not surprisingly, the UK press is comparing Jim Cantalupo's death to Dr. Atkin's:

Cantalupo's death comes two months after revelations about the poor health of the inventor of the high-fat, high-cholesterol Atkins diet. Dr Robert Atkins, 72, died a year ago after slipping on an icy street.

Earlier this year, a leaked report by the New York medical examiner revealed that he had a serious heart disease and at 18 1/2 stone was clinically obese.

The report showed that Dr Atkins had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure and high blood pressure before his death. But colleagues said his weight had ballooned because of fluid retention while he was in a coma after he collapsed.
