Sir Edmund Hillary, the renowned New Zealand mountaineer and explorer, suffered a heart attack in January 2008, attributed to a combination of factors including age and underlying health conditions. At the time, he was 88 years old and had a history of health issues, including previous heart problems. His advanced age and the physical stress of his long life of exploration likely contributed to the heart attack.
