Penn State football coach Joe Paterno lost his job of 46 years in November and passed away of lung cancer this past weekend. In 2008, he reportedly told sportscaster Brent Musberger that he was afraid he’d die if he ever stepped away from the game. He mentioned legendary Alabama football coach Bear Bryant, who suffered a fatal heart attack in 1983 a month after coaching his last game. Other famous figures who died recently, not long after retirement, include Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz and 60 Minutes host Andy Rooney. Are people at greater risk of death when they stop working?
