Top specimens do occasionally die naturally, from a combo of some defect combined with brutal workout regimens. Defects that might hide quietly in most people.
Then add in widespread use of PED and steroids etc, (not saying -he- did that) and it really isn’t super uncommon.
I think in this case it might be worth waiting for an autopsy, and also to see if he got the shot yesterday or something.
But it may not be a coverup.
Concur. A young lady from my church was the picture of health and was on her high school cross country team. On the second year of her participation in cross country, she passed out during a race. It turned out she had a heart defect so serious that they considered heart surgery. Her doctors were amazed that it had not shown any symptoms earlier.
My brother and I both inherited hyperganglias from my mother. In my case, mine was on my leg and disappeared naturally as I grew older.
My brother’s was on his brain, laying dormant and undetected until he turned 55. My brother is a brilliant, extremely successful businessman who enjoys skiing, jet skis, swimming, and eats healthy. Had it been a regular aneurysm, he would have died. Because it was a hyperganglia that ruptured, he miraculously survived.
You never know what interesting tidbits are mixed into a person’s genetic stew.
Condolences to his family.
