So the number of KMs per month is THE magic number in determining the likelihood of fatality? On an indoor trainer? Why? Neither time nor mileage by themselves would tell you if he was overtraining as you don't know the level of effort involved.
Seriously, do you actually read what you type?

If the guy had admitted he drove car all day long joy riding or just sat in his easy chair all day and had a heart attack, what would we be saying about him? Probably that he should ride or at least exercise more.
Too much is being put on his riding time and not enough on what his over all health may have been due to many other things.
And how many of us are likely to stop doing what we like to do just because it might kill us?

Leary then went on the suggest that it was two smokers who found the body.

Find out where the 5G transmitters are, locally, and where there are plans to install them.

There is no jury and it is not still out. This post is complete BS.

Obviously, if he wasn't going above zone 2, he wasn't doing HIIT any more, and there's no telling from the article when he stopped. It could've been years ago.
There's really no telling what caused his heart problems, especially with the very, very limited information we have available and neither of us being pathologists.
If he was having chest pains associated with any level of exertion, he should have had it checked out, but that's a lot less attractive as click bit as "his cycling habit killed him".

Scientific American is not a journal, reputable or not. The "article" was not peer reviewed and is listed as a blog. The author has shown extreme bias against radio signals in previous work and has claimed for well over a decade, despite a significant body of scientific evidence showing that he is incorrect and no accepted scientific evidence supporting his claims, that wireless transmissions lead to increased rates of cancer. It's all bunk.
