Death of Joe Battipaglia

Saw a brief flash on the tube that JB passed away. Born 1955, so he was a relatively young man. Anyone know what happened?

heart attack first comes to mind as he was a large guy but just a guess.

This is shocking. Been watching him on the tube for a long time...last time seeing him (think on FoxBiz), he looked just fine.

One of the few television commentators worth watching. I will certainly miss his contributions.

Biggest Dago I ever met. Nice man. Killed a lot of people at Gruntal, and after that, I never listened to him.

Shocker though. Real shocker.

I agree.

Life is to short. A shame. Thought to the family. Such a loss. 56 years old.
