L has just thought of a cunning plan to prevent himself being killed by a
Death note:

> He straps a device to his heart that directly links to an equivalent device
> strapped to Watari's (his butler) heart. If either heart stops beating (or
> the device is removed), then the other self-detonates and kills the other
> person. Which thus renders the Death note essentially useless against either
> of them, given the following rule:

**Even though only one name is written in the Death Note, if it influences and
causes other humans that are not written in it to die, the victim’s cause of
death will be a heart attack** ~ _Rule XXVI - II_ linked [death note rules
wiki](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note)

Is this possible, or would L just die from a heart attack anyway?

Would a Death note still work, if a heart attack could lead to someone else's death?
