Both her and George Michael died of heart attack.
With all technology/medicine advance it's incredible how many people heart disease still kills in 2016.
May Carrie and George Rest In Peace.

*I hold the theory she's been braindead since then, and the family made a decision today. It sounds cold, but it also means she hasn't been suffering for four days.

It's not. The generic term for death is death. Heart Failure is a real condition. A heart attack could be compared to a circuit overloading, while heart failure can be compared to lose of power.
Meanwhile my mom is still kickin.
My understanding is a heart attack refers specifically to a blockage in the heart, some combination of narrowing arteries, a blood clot, etc.
Heart failure just refers to an inefficiency of the heart to pump blood. It's caused more by things like arrhythmias, issues w/ blood pressure, etc.
It seemed to me that the heart attack was the more serious of the two, as I believe it's more closely linked to tissue death. As I understood it: the heart attack weakened my grandfather's heart and left him more vulnerable to heart failure.
All colloquially used as synonyms. All different. I couldn't tell you which is which. Seems like its different between areas of the medical field as well. So thats problem number 1.
You mean "partying our faces off for decades on end"?
Unfortunately no, we don't have a cure to fix a generally wrecked body.
Drugs are indeed bad, at least to the extent that this generation of stars used them.
