Ed Lorenz bowled a perfect game, then had a heart attack and died. The sixty-nine-year-old retiree had started bowling in 1957 and had bowled two other perfect games in 2004. His per-game average for his last full season was 223, and in 2005 he was inducted into the Kalamazoo Metro Bowling Association Hall of Fame. He died after his third perfect game in January 2006.

“If he could have written a way to go out, this would have been it,” said Johnny D. Masters, Lorenz’s bowling partner.
