No, Jerome "The Bus" Bettis did not die of a heart attack. He is one of the NFL commentators for Sunday Night Football on NBC, and is doing fine.

Mich. -- Johnnie Bettis, the father of retired NFL running back Jerome Bettis, died Tuesday at a suburban Detroit hospital of an apparent heart attack, police said.
Johnnie Bettis, 61, of Detroit, was stricken while driving in a suburb north of the city around noon, police Lt. Carl Fuhs said.
"He apparently felt it coming on," Fuhs said. "He was able to pull his vehicle off to the side of the road and stop it, which probably saved injury if not another person's death. That's a very busy two-lane road."
Another motorist stopped and administered CPR, and a passing nurse and physician also stopped to help before police and paramedics were called, Fuhs said.
Bettis was taken to Huron Valley Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:58 p.m., hospital spokeswoman Annessa Carlisle said. She said she did not know the cause of death or whether an autopsy would be performed.

Not the football star Bettis if the Steelers, however his father. He was 58 I believe and it happened in Chicago... God be with the family.

No; as far as I'm concerned, he's still alive.
