My husband felt fine. HE went into the heart specialist to get checked out so he could start flying . He had 1 valve 100% blocked . The others 80%. Meanwhile, he had no symptoms. He ended up having a quadruple bypass . Please, people, get your heart checked out . Treadmill test. The whole works . This could have been prevented
I am so sad to learn and hear of the passing of Sam Rubin. I used to see on TV him talking to our Presenters on THIS MORNING, in London, UK. I wanted to meet him in March 2023 when I came into Los Angeles from London, UK. You will be sorely missed Sam.
"...he looked fine, said he felt fine..." It's a silent killer folks, just because you feel OK, once you pass 50-55 get a cardiologist and see him/her every year, get your blood panel done and discuss it with him. Be proactive!
My husband had a complete physical on Thurs afternoon.the Dr told him he was in perfect health had a complete battery of tests.He died of a heart attack on a Monday morning on his way to work at 36.
He started at KTLA when my father passed in 1991. My dadcwas only 66. Mr. Rubin was 64. Both gine too soon. I watched KTLA often,especially sports and entertainment. Rose Parades are best on KTLA. Sorry for huge loss to his family and KTLA coworkers. RIP til Jesus comes again soon.
Sam was a great news anchor. Also Chris Burrous who was another great news anchor on KTLA also who passed in December 2018 was a great to watch. So sad when someone you see everyday and don't personally know them passes away it hits you in a way that the news won't be the same without them.
So sad 😢 i feel like a closed family member has passed away. I've watched him since Barbara, Carlos, Mark Sam and Erick were together at KTLA 5 morning news.
How tragic. It's not always possible to discern heart attack symptoms before it's too late. They can mimic so many other things or be silent. What a shock to his poor family and friends. I'm so sorry for their loss. Bless them.❤
Here's to you Sammy Rubin... We probably experience a thousand truly memorable events in our short lives. A few of mine include my brief high school friendship with Sammy Rubin. Sammy, which is what he called himself before he became famous, was truly the funniest guy I knew. I think I’m witty, but this guy could make someone on their deathbed bust a gut. We met while we were both writers and on-air reporters for Student News, the broadcast produced by the Los Angeles Unified School District that aired on a local UHF station in the 1970s. My fondest memories of that huckster were that he would take me aside at dull parties and say, “let’s fight.” It was pretending, of course. But he would scream and holler and we’d roll around on the ground like we were going to kill each other. It was wonderful fun. When a crowd surrounded us and pleaded for us to stop, Sammy would stand up, pick me up by the hand and give me a big hug. We would laugh like lunatics and the duped partygoers would sneer and utter something along the lines of “oh it’s just those guys.” Sammy graduated high school before me, went off to college and we never talked again. But I have the fondest memory of the guy. Sammy passed away this week. I will never forget his effervescent charm and wicked sense of humor.
90% of people survive a heart heart attack poor Sam was in that 10% that didn't he was a once in a lifetime talent at what he did and how he did it, irreplaceable and will truly be missed😢
I was always educated and entertained by Sam Rubin's reports on WGN . He came across as genuine and knowledgeable , my prayers go out to his family and friends . Rest in peace Mr. Rubin .
How sad! 😢 I remember him from my living in California for 6 years. He’s such a sweet very likable man. He will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends. 💔
I live in the LA area and am just finding out about this today! It tells you how much I care about the news these days. I used to watch KTLA Morning News when it first launched back in the early 90s with the original crew. I'm sorry and sad to hear of his passing. He was always a class guy.
Most likely he had the”widowmaker” he should have gone to the hospital when he didn’t feel good. He would have had a good chance of surviving it. Of course this is all supposition. But odds are that’s what he had.
Yes, was thinking the same thing. He did have insanely high cholesterol and glucose numbers just about two years ago when he revealed how he was told he really needed to do something with his numbers, like changing his diet and stuff.
My niece father died at home minutes after walking his dog 🐩 around 6:30am for a massive heart attack. He was 64 years old never drank never smoke. Crazy .
I watched him 😭😔 my dad loved watching KTLA he passed away Feb 15th 2013. We loved watching Sam and the whole team. 🙏 RIP you will never be forgotten. Love you Rubin's family heart feel condolences 🙏
It’s more likely that nobody recognized that what was happening was a heart attack or Sam himself quite possibly minimized any concerns. Both scenarios are quite common.
The only way to fix this is nanomachines and an app. They need to hurry up with that kind of stuff to monitor vitals on your own. Useful tech comes far too slow. Yet the military is already weaponizing robots.....
Yeah like the nurses when they put the needle in his arm. They could’ve helped by not doing that or Biden when he mandated it. Could have made it so there was no symptoms to be had but keep playing blind to it like nobody knows why this happened. People like you part of the problem playing dumb
I had one possibly several. I thought it was just heart burn or acid reflux. But there was one point it would NOT go away. When to the ER and was shocked. If you have chest pains, please get it checked as soon as yesterday.
Sam had great comedic timing. I made sure to sign the petition that he get a star. I watched him everyday on Fox5 San Diego. He was one of the best parts of my morning. I was in morning on Friday and then I lost my grandfather that following mother's day. I was like WOOOOO!
Wasn't there a false reporting of Sam's death a few years back? He called in during a live broadcast to confirm that he was still alive and the whole KTLA team had good laugh. Sad to hear he's really gone. I will always remember the Samuel L. Jackson incident. It was funny to us, but he went through tough times then and he survived it.
You have to pay attention to your body. I’m sure he didn’t feel well the whole week. So busy with life, we ignore how we feel. I’m surprised he called in sick🥺🥲
People from all over the world are calling in about Sam Rubin. One person is missing and that is Gayle Anderson .. the whole team passed in present has been there but not one word Gayle
This doesn't explain too much of what did him in. When you're older, you have to get a physical every year. If the doctor see's something wrong on your EKG or your stress test, he may send you to a cardiologist, especially if you have risk factors like family history. He will prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs or blood pressure meds if you need to improve your numbers, as well as diet and exercise advice. It would be interesting to know if his physicals indicated any trouble.
I can agree with most of your points and I have had several heart attacks with normal EKG’s. Walked into the Emergency Room with all normal vitals and the giveaway was my blood enzymes were through the roof. The highest level the ER Cardiologist has ever seen for a patient still functioning and working a 12 hour day. There are symptoms and warnings that I ignored and blamed on indigestion from the prior day. 2nd time I suffered a H/A the stent broke in the center of the vessel and the vessel collapsed.
What a loss of good man , he will be missed, all of us must take head of what our bodies are telling us and make time to go to the doctors be with god Sam 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Some TV personalities are so genuine. You know it's not an act. They greet you, and you could feel a smile coming to your face. Sam was one of those personalities. Like Fred Rogers, Huell Howsers, or Bob Ross. He was a joy to watch. I will miss him. the grey rain curtain of this world rolling back, and all turning to silver glass. a far green country, under a swift sunrise". Godspeed Sam.
One of the coolest TV personalities ever not one person has anything bad to say about Sam that is very rare these days his bright smile will be greatly missed.
rest in peace to the great Sam Rubin his strong wicked good sense of humor and a real good sense of pride he will be greatly missed he made us all laugh and made the news not so boring he made it to where you can watch the news and get a good couple laughs out of it he was truly great
He is and will always be part of my childhood. Watching news in the mornings. Thank you, Mr. Sam Rubin. You will be missed.😢
😢 I watched him on WGN mornings when my kids were infants. He was so much fun. He will be missed.
This is so sad! I watched him on KTLA back when I was in college in the early 90s. Loved his sense of humor!
Tomorrow, One week ago ❤❤❤❤❤
agreed
Ditto! Miss the 90s Cali. So much nicer. RiP Mr. Rubin😢

I read somewhere that most first time heart attacks have no warning and are very deadly. Your husband was lucky and your message is powerful.

Makes me wonder what supplements he was consistently taking...
So true! I just had my check up and so far, I’m good…..at 71 years old.

I loved Sam! I’m from Canada but religiously watch KTLA5 and always looked forward to seeing Sam and his entertainment reports.
Wow, all the way up there? I watched from San Diego which is only 2 hrs away. I liked Sam and all the funny crew. They were a great team.

Most likely he had the”widowmaker” he should have gone to the hospital when he didn’t feel good. He would have had a good chance of surviving it. Of course this is all supposition. But odds are that’s what he had.

Yes, was thinking the same thing. He did have insanely high cholesterol and glucose numbers just about two years ago when he revealed how he was told he really needed to do something with his numbers, like changing his diet and stuff.
Heart attack can mimic flu symptoms.
No one knows for sure .everyone speculates.
@@lindaobrien8538 I didn’t say I knew for sure, of course I don’t. I just said I have a pretty good idea that’s what happened.
He will be missed. I loved the way he reported the entertainment news. Anyone who was anyone knew him. Such a very likeable man. RIP
praying for his family and loved ones. We loved watching him every since I was a teenager in high school My mom loved him. Deepest condolences ❤
Mr Rubin also appeared for commentary on British television, that's where I became aware of him. What a loss.
My niece father died at home minutes after walking his dog 🐩 around 6:30am for a massive heart attack. He was 64 years old never drank never smoke. Crazy .
But did he ‘roll up’?
Most likely the cause here, w/Sam.
Makes all who did it, ticking time b’s.
What a nasty shock... people are going to be crying for awhile. Sam is watching everyone from Heaven, look up and wave 🌊
💉?
Shots, sad😢 Sam will be missed. On the news and by family and friends.
It’s taken millions now...and will continue to.🤮
Thanks Sam for entertaining not only myself but the world since day 1
So Sad and So Young!! R.I.P. Sam!! 🙏🙏
Thanks for the info! 🎻✌️🙂😎

Rest in paradise! Condolences to your friends and family 🙏🏼🕊️💐

Solid person! Seemed like such a good person. Prayers to his family and would family. Rip
Sam Rubin, RIP very beloved by this viewer of KTLA, though I now live outside Calif.

gayle is probably taking it hard grieving for sam so leave her alone
Gayle is the best, she is si sweet and kid. She’s likely very upset.
It’s hitting her hard guaranteed as it is all of us who loved watching him on that show. She needs time to grieve and process it. RIP Sam 🙏💔
Or Barbara Beck?
May his soul rest in peace ❤

Most people don't know they have a heart problem...until they are on the floor.
Or until they get a safe n effective experimental treatment that isn’t safe or effective except when it comes to heart attacks and strikes

I thought the same thing
