"Is the head dead yet? Get the widow on the set..." is probably what Henley is thinking if he reads any of this stuff about him. Truth is stranger than fiction to be sure.
Anyway, my money is on the crew member being right and Irving trying to cover it up because of dollars and cents. Tour insurance on Henley would go up, in fact probably way up, if he had a stent inserted into an artery despite the almost routine nature of the procedure nowdays-ex-Pres Clinton had two put in this past winter. Not so much with a bum knee.
If I remember correctly, Henley quit college back in the day because his father was dying from heart problems. So maybe heart disease runs in the family-or his dad was a smoker. Anyway that's my two cents.
