(from Wikipedia) Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (1908 – 1979) was an American businessman, philanthropist, public servant, and politician. He served as the 41st Vice President of the United States (1974–1977) under President Gerald Ford, and as the 49th Governor of New York (1959–1973). He also served in the administrations of Presidents Franklin Roosevelt regarding Latin America and Dwight Eisenhower regarding welfare programs. A member of the wealthy Rockefeller family, he was also a noted art collector, as well as administrator of Rockefeller Center. Rockefeller, a Republican, was politically liberal, progressive, or moderate. In his time, liberals in the Republican Party were called "Rockefeller Republicans".
Rockefeller died on January 26, 1979, at age 70 from a heart attack.
He apparently died while banging a young mistress, Megan Marshak. Long-time Rockefeller aide Joe Persico said in the PBS documentary about the Rockefeller family "It became known that he had been alone with a young woman who worked for him, in undeniably intimate circumstances, and in the course of that evening had died from a heart attack."
According to Reformation.org, "The official coroner’s report, issued by the competent New York State authority, states that Nelson Rockefeller died of a heart attack while he was having sexual intercourse. You can look it up in the archives at 28th Street and First Avenue (provided they let you look at this one).
The tragedy, which was recounted daily in the press at the time, was that had there not been political considerations, his life might have been saved.
Nelson Rockefeller was a big, heavy man. When he collapsed of a heart attack, Megan Marshak was pinned underneath him. She had to struggle to get out. He was naked. It was not known that he had a mistress. For these reasons, she was reluctant to call the ambulance. Instead, Megan Marshak called her girlfriend, who lived nearby.
The girlfriend walked over, arrived, saw the naked former Vice-President sprawled on the floor, and then she and Megan Marshak had a discussion about what to do about this.
Finally, fully one hour after Nelson Rockefeller had collapsed, the girlfriend called the ambulance. Megan Marshak did not make the call.
When the ambulance arrived, Nelson Rockefeller was still barely alive. However, he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
These circumstances caused an investigation. Megan Marshak, whose existence was totally unknown prior to this incident, holed up in her town house, a gift she received from Nelson Rockefeller, while photographers maintained a vigil outside. She did not appear for weeks.
When the will was read, Nelson Rockefeller left Megan Marshak the deed to the townhouse at 13 West 54th Street plus $50,000 cash, a generous gift for a previously unknown mistress.
The newspapers of that time were more careful with their wording than they are today. Every New Yorker following the story knew exactly that Megan Marshak was his mistress and that he had died while having sexual intercourse with her. Yet, the newspapers never used those exact words.
What I thought was the greatest irony about this was that the Rockefeller
family was so anxious to cover up this story that they had his body cremated
almost before it got cold. Nelson Rockefeller’s body was cremated only 18 hours
after he was pronounced dead, because Happy Rockefeller, his proper wife, did
not want the Medical Examiner’s Office to examine his body for evidence for
sexual ejaculation.
Here was one of the most powerful and famous men in the
world, a multi-millionaire, a grandson of John D. Rockefeller and a former
Vice-President of the United States and Governor of New York State, a man who
had everything, and only 18 hours later he was ashes, because of the need to
keep secret the fact that he had been having sex with a woman who was not his
wife.
What happened to Nelson Rockefeller was not unusual or surprising. Medical
studies say that one of the most common causes of death of men his age is a
heart attack while having sexual intercourse with a woman not his wife (the
reason being that when a man has sex with his own wife, he is used to her and is
less likely to be under stress or excited or aroused).
Earlier this month a much-less-wealthy man died in Nigeria from the same cause, but with his wife. The incident occurred in their home at Ikota, Lagos State.
Simply identified as Emmanuel, The Eagle Online reports that the deceased suddenly slumped and died during the ‘action.’
It was learned that when his wife Afion, a mother of two, noticed that her husband was no longer moving, she had called his name several times and shook him. Still, Emmanuel did not respond.
Scared and confused, Afion was said to have called the husband’s younger brother, Akpan and broke the news to him.
A neighbor, Okechukwu, said that the woman told her husband to rest because he was just recovering from an illness but he would not listen.
She said the man insisted he wanted sexual intercourse or he would seek it elsewhere.
