FT245

A ten-pin bowler collapsed and died after recording his first perfect score at the game. Don Doane, 62, belonged to the same Michigan bowling team for 45 years and finally managed to rack up the maximum 300. As he was high-fiving his teammates, he collapsed on the floor with a heart attack and died.

Irish Independent, 1 Nov 2008.
