Did Drug Addiction Boost Carrie Fisher's Heart Risk?
Actress Carrie Fisher’s death from a heart attack is a cautionary tale about the ways that long-term drug addiction can take a lasting toll on cardiovascular health, several of the nation’s leading doctors suggest.
Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars," died Tuesday after reportedly suffering a heart attack aboard a flight on Friday. She was 60.
Fisher, who had been hospitalized since Friday, when paramedics responded to a patient in distress at Los Angeles International Airport, had long been open about her struggles with drug addiction.
