A little online research showed that he had pancreatitis . 1 in 5 who get a severe pancreatic infection develop complications and die from it. Those severe cases shut down other major organs and it’s a painful, slow process. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
I had a boss who got pancreatitis on vacation in Cancun. Was out of work for 6 months and never was the same afterwards.
Do not recommend.
