Lucky he went to a hospital, a lot people will just ignore it thinking it'll pass until it's too late...

Stop jogging. It's an unhealthy activity. Too complicated to explain the science behind it.

 

I didnt know they had country in Sweden. 

Do Swedish country singers wear cowboy hats?

What visa can you use to be a country singer in Thailand? "Entertainer" visa?

Too much running can have increased risk of heart attack when scar tissue can build up in the heart muscle, leading to sudden death.

So Jonas' heart attack may haven been caused by prolonged artery scar tissue buildup leading to a blocked artery.
