On Jan. 5, 1998 "Pistol" Pete Maravich died of a heart attack. He was only 40 years old. An autopsy later revealed the cause of the heart attack to be a rare congenital defect. He was born without a left coronary artery and his right coronary artery was severely oversized as it had been compensating for the defect.
this is wrong! Pistol Pete died in 1988, not 1998
its really sad he died in a pick up game he was a awsome basket ball player.
