Nothing beats dying your sleep though. Actually, we think my sister died while coughing from a cold. She threw her heart out-of-rhythm. Had lifelong heart problems and had a valve replaced.

This is a bit sad for me. My sister and a friend of mine are both suffering from deadly coughs.

Oh, I'm so sorry they are experiencing a difficult time, Victor. I certainly can understand. Because of the dangers of this, I hesitated to post this, but I thought most people would see the humor. I realized for some it might not be so funny.
