Monkhorst foresaw his heart attack months earlier

Former AFL player Damian Monkhorst revealed he predicted his own heart attack months before it occurred, citing stress and health concerns. He survived the event in April. Monkhorst, 55, attributed the prediction to mounting stress related to his plumbing business and other health issues, including headaches and neck pain. He reported the symptoms to his partner before the heart attack. The ex-Collingwood ruckman is now recovering, undergoing rehabilitation, and managing his weight. The incident follows the recent death of another AFL player, Andrew Krakouer, from a suspected heart attack.
