What has NOT been attributed to health problems of all the deaths at WDW in the last 2 - 2 1/2 years or so?

Anyways... the news yesterday declared his family admitting he had a pre-existing condition with heart problems... so there. They kissed their chance to sue Disney away. Many next time, people will take the safety warnings more seriously. As for Disney... a "DO NOT walk up this mountain if you have a Heart Problem" sign is long over due.
