Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News medical analyst and professor of medicine at New York University Langone Medical Center, said that heart disease runs in families, but added that he can’t speculate on the exact cause of Saget’s death.

Siegel added that around 250,000 to 400,000 people have a sudden cardiac arrest every year in the United States.

“250,000 to 400,000 people have sudden cardiac arrest every year in U.S. Most have underlying heart issues but may not be known. 95 percent die from it, majority over 65, male,” Siegel said.
