I knew a popular singer died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm & when I was looking up who it was, I found this (singer was Conway Twitty):

Cause of Death: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

“An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a blood-filled bulge or ballooning in a part of your aorta that runs through your abdomen. Over time, this bulge in your aorta can become weak, and the force of normal blood pressure can cause it to rupture.

The following celebrities died from the cause: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.”
