"...he looked fine, said he felt fine..." It's a silent killer folks, just because you feel OK, once you pass 50-55 get a cardiologist and see him/her every year, get your blood panel done and discuss it with him. Be proactive!
My husband had a complete physical on Thurs afternoon.the Dr told him he was in perfect health had a complete battery of tests.He died of a heart attack on a Monday morning on his way to work at 36.
I am so sad to learn and hear of the passing of Sam Rubin. I used to see on TV him talking to our Presenters on THIS MORNING, in London, UK. I wanted to meet him in March 2023 when I came into Los Angeles from London, UK. You will be sorely missed Sam.
Sam was a great news anchor. Also Chris Burrous who was another great news anchor on KTLA also who passed in December 2018 was a great to watch. So sad when someone you see everyday and don't personally know them passes away it hits you in a way that the news won't be the same without them.
My husband felt fine. HE went into the heart specialist to get checked out so he could start flying . He had 1 valve 100% blocked . The others 80%. Meanwhile, he had no symptoms. He ended up having a quadruple bypass . Please, people, get your heart checked out . Treadmill test. The whole works . This could have been prevented
He started at KTLA when my father passed in 1991. My dadcwas only 66. Mr. Rubin was 64. Both gine too soon. I watched KTLA often,especially sports and entertainment. Rose Parades are best on KTLA. Sorry for huge loss to his family and KTLA coworkers. RIP til Jesus comes again soon.
So sad 😢 i feel like a closed family member has passed away. I've watched him since Barbara, Carlos, Mark Sam and Erick were together at KTLA 5 morning news.
How tragic. It's not always possible to discern heart attack symptoms before it's too late. They can mimic so many other things or be silent. What a shock to his poor family and friends. I'm so sorry for their loss. Bless them.❤
Here's to you Sammy Rubin... We probably experience a thousand truly memorable events in our short lives. A few of mine include my brief high school friendship with Sammy Rubin. Sammy, which is what he called himself before he became famous, was truly the funniest guy I knew. I think I’m witty, but this guy could make someone on their deathbed bust a gut. We met while we were both writers and on-air reporters for Student News, the broadcast produced by the Los Angeles Unified School District that aired on a local UHF station in the 1970s. My fondest memories of that huckster were that he would take me aside at dull parties and say, “let’s fight.” It was pretending, of course. But he would scream and holler and we’d roll around on the ground like we were going to kill each other. It was wonderful fun. When a crowd surrounded us and pleaded for us to stop, Sammy would stand up, pick me up by the hand and give me a big hug. We would laugh like lunatics and the duped partygoers would sneer and utter something along the lines of “oh it’s just those guys.” Sammy graduated high school before me, went off to college and we never talked again. But I have the fondest memory of the guy. Sammy passed away this week. I will never forget his effervescent charm and wicked sense of humor.
I was always educated and entertained by Sam Rubin's reports on WGN . He came across as genuine and knowledgeable , my prayers go out to his family and friends . Rest in peace Mr. Rubin .
Most likely he had the”widowmaker” he should have gone to the hospital when he didn’t feel good. He would have had a good chance of surviving it. Of course this is all supposition. But odds are that’s what he had.
Yes, was thinking the same thing. He did have insanely high cholesterol and glucose numbers just about two years ago when he revealed how he was told he really needed to do something with his numbers, like changing his diet and stuff.
90% of people survive a heart heart attack poor Sam was in that 10% that didn't he was a once in a lifetime talent at what he did and how he did it, irreplaceable and will truly be missed😢
I live in the LA area and am just finding out about this today! It tells you how much I care about the news these days. I used to watch KTLA Morning News when it first launched back in the early 90s with the original crew. I'm sorry and sad to hear of his passing. He was always a class guy.
How sad! 😢 I remember him from my living in California for 6 years. He’s such a sweet very likable man. He will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends. 💔
My niece father died at home minutes after walking his dog 🐩 around 6:30am for a massive heart attack. He was 64 years old never drank never smoke. Crazy .
Being that he was in the industry, I’m sure a certain thing was forced on him to take. Isn’t it interesting that so many people are thinking it but none of us can say it or even use an emoji that shows what we’re referring to.. If you are awaken “not woke” you Will know what I’m referring to. So saddened for his family, and his friends. May he rest in heavenly peace.
It’s more likely that nobody recognized that what was happening was a heart attack or Sam himself quite possibly minimized any concerns. Both scenarios are quite common.
The only way to fix this is nanomachines and an app. They need to hurry up with that kind of stuff to monitor vitals on your own. Useful tech comes far too slow. Yet the military is already weaponizing robots.....
Yeah like the nurses when they put the needle in his arm. They could’ve helped by not doing that or Biden when he mandated it. Could have made it so there was no symptoms to be had but keep playing blind to it like nobody knows why this happened. People like you part of the problem playing dumb
You damn well know he did and nobody else who did will dare make that connection or they will be wrong. He pushed the narrative as well. He got what he wanted safe n effective protection from the flu. Too bad heart attacks n strokes the side effect of that protection. But at least he wasn’t hospitalized three years ago.
I watched him 😭😔 my dad loved watching KTLA he passed away Feb 15th 2013. We loved watching Sam and the whole team. 🙏 RIP you will never be forgotten. Love you Rubin's family heart feel condolences 🙏
Sam had great comedic timing. I made sure to sign the petition that he get a star. I watched him everyday on Fox5 San Diego. He was one of the best parts of my morning. I was in morning on Friday and then I lost my grandfather that following mother's day. I was like WOOOOO!
People from all over the world are calling in about Sam Rubin. One person is missing and that is Gayle Anderson .. the whole team passed in present has been there but not one word Gayle
Wasn't there a false reporting of Sam's death a few years back? He called in during a live broadcast to confirm that he was still alive and the whole KTLA team had good laugh. Sad to hear he's really gone. I will always remember the Samuel L. Jackson incident. It was funny to us, but he went through tough times then and he survived it.
I had one possibly several. I thought it was just heart burn or acid reflux. But there was one point it would NOT go away. When to the ER and was shocked. If you have chest pains, please get it checked as soon as yesterday.
You have to pay attention to your body. I’m sure he didn’t feel well the whole week. So busy with life, we ignore how we feel. I’m surprised he called in sick🥺🥲
I’m wondering if he didn’t feel good the day before why didn’t he go to the hospital to get checked out because they would have done a complete check up bloodwork on him and would have saved his life
Because many people don’t want to wait hours in urgent care. He may have scheduled an appt with his doctor to get it checked out on a different day. But you’re right if you feel unwell you should just go to ER or urgent care. It could have saved his life.
@@Chichilovee That person actually said Urgent Care, which is completely different. I suggested the ER by ambulance. What… you’d rather die than be wrong about your symptoms?
What a loss of good man , he will be missed, all of us must take head of what our bodies are telling us and make time to go to the doctors be with god Sam 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
One of the coolest TV personalities ever not one person has anything bad to say about Sam that is very rare these days his bright smile will be greatly missed.
This doesn't explain too much of what did him in. When you're older, you have to get a physical every year. If the doctor see's something wrong on your EKG or your stress test, he may send you to a cardiologist, especially if you have risk factors like family history. He will prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs or blood pressure meds if you need to improve your numbers, as well as diet and exercise advice. It would be interesting to know if his physicals indicated any trouble.
I can agree with most of your points and I have had several heart attacks with normal EKG’s. Walked into the Emergency Room with all normal vitals and the giveaway was my blood enzymes were through the roof. The highest level the ER Cardiologist has ever seen for a patient still functioning and working a 12 hour day. There are symptoms and warnings that I ignored and blamed on indigestion from the prior day. 2nd time I suffered a H/A the stent broke in the center of the vessel and the vessel collapsed.
rest in peace to the great Sam Rubin his strong wicked good sense of humor and a real good sense of pride he will be greatly missed he made us all laugh and made the news not so boring he made it to where you can watch the news and get a good couple laughs out of it he was truly great
Remember, they told you all that the vaccines were SAFE AND EFFECTIVE and people continue to drop. Am otherwise healthy man suffers a major cardiac event, significant enough to end him? Yeah alright. RIP Sam Rubin.
Yep. Every time someone under 40 dies its gotta be the vaccine! Now every time someone famous dies 😂 you idiots are hilarious. He had long standing heart problems. Dont know how thats sudden lol. Only Americans can make this something like this sht political. Pls dont make politics your whole personality. Blue or red its sad and pathetic.
This hasn’t got one thing to do with the bloody vaccine. He was overweight and and most likely, like most men, didn’t go to the er when he should have.
@@timothya.olmeda7299that’s really, just two years ago he was on KTLA talking about how super high his cholesterol and glucose were, and the numbers were shockingly high. So he was talking about how he really needed to lose weight and eat better, which he did make some improvements. But I guess his efforts weren’t enough.
