I read somewhere that he had surgery for a severe back problem and growths removed after a colonoscopy.

A few years back, I went into one of those supermarket test kiosks for blood pressure. Don't remember the exact numbers, but it was so high when I mentioned it to my daughter, who had some medical training, she was shocked. She thought I could have a stroke at any moment. I was probably around 50 years old. So, I get to the doctor, and when the nurse checked by BP, she looked confused, and checked it again. It was like the highest she had ever seen.

Considering that I don't drink or smoke, and I exercise regularly, it was quite a surprise, but they said it can be hereditary. After that doctor visit, I was put on medicine, and it's now normal, and has been for years.

So, I don't know if Perry had a history of it, or just hadn't had it checked, but high blood pressure can kill you very fast, and without any other symptoms.
