As morbid as it might sound, I am curious what the heart rate wavefunction looks like for a murder victim. The investigators must have had some pause while seeing the plot of someones final struggle visualized as a function of 1 variable.. How does someone who is 90 have the tenacity to kill someone? Really mortifying case... On a different note, a new product stands to be created based on this kind of morbid data + ML. We should have an open database of cardiac events and all wear devices that immediately send for help via E911/Location when an event with a morbidity p-value > C is detected. Seems like a no brainer if we care about protecting everyone optimally. Does anyone know if a database of cardiac events exists from which to train a NN?

> How does someone who is 90 have the tenacity to kill someone? Really mortifying case... Coming from an old-school Italian family, reading this article felt like it could just as well have been about one of my parents or cousins. They hold familial grudges forever, serve revenge ice cold, and murder is not particularly off-limits - especially when you're already nearly dead of old age yourself.

  I was thinking that myself. Many might think about ice-cold revenge, but most forget about it after a few decades. Fortunately.

> How does someone who is 90 have the tenacity to kill someone? I think that you mean agility and strength, no? So this was a 90-year-old man vs a 67-year-old woman. From his photo, he's in pretty decent shape. She was wearing a Fitbit, but maybe that indicates that she was infirm, and not fit. I'm guessing that he mainly caught her by surprise.

>How does someone who is 90 have the tenacity to kill someone? Barring a new mental health issue which turned this guy murderous, he was probably not-a-nice-person earlier in life, thus already capable of (and perhaps never held responsible for) many earlier misdeeds. So, wild guess: step-daughter declared intent to reveal his prior crimes, to mom and/or authorities. Then, step-father kills to keep his secrets.

  There's a black mirror episode that closely parallels that story. ('Crocodile').

> Seems like a no brainer if we care about protecting everyone optimally. This is fine as long as it's optional, but there comes a point where "protecting everyone optimally" is in conflict with other basic rights, like not wanting the government to have access to minute-by-minute data on your biological functions. Additionally, if it did work by calling 911, it would probably need to bundle a mobile phone, at which point it becomes impossible to go anywhere without the government knowing approximately where you are.

  It could power up whatever networking capability it has as needed, which is what makes sense anyway if you want the battery to last.
