Demry Miller never saw his widowmaker heart attack coming. He was a healthy 53-year-old — not the kind of person he thought had heart attacks, he said. Then, he collapsed at his job in Granbury. His heart stopped beating. Miller’s co-workers performed CPR, and he was taken by ambulance to a hospital
