I'm not sure how it all links together and how the heart attack (if it was a heart attack) is linked to the paralysis but he didn't die directly from the broken neck, he was paralysed for years because of it but its my understanding that whatever it was he died from was a complication of either the initial injury or the fact that he was paralysed.

Christopher Reeve had a very bad horse accident which severed his spine and left him paralyzed. He lived in this condition for many years, and finally died of a heart attack from complications in 2004. Sep 04 06, 5:36 PM
