So the coroner said he was 39 and had the heart of a sixty year old.
It was attributed to stress.
But I just read that he worked 10 hour days picking tobacco to "pay" for college.
I can't verify the next part but I can just assert it. You get that tobacco plant "oils" on your hands and it can screw you up.
I probably have researched that.
I doubt they wore gloves. Or if they did they likely saturated.
I don't know if King smoke or drank. I am not researching it.

PS. Maybe if you are a black mother or father and you tell your son or daughter this it will demotivate them from tobacco use.
