Sad. How does a brain hemorrhage happen? Is it ill health, a freak thing, I mean, he was short but never seemed to be a hard living fellow.
Seems I read that he fell, and hit his head.
A shock to the head can tear a fragile blood vessel. If it is a small one, it can take time to show symptoms. By that time, it may be too late. Liam Neeson's wife had a skiing accident that progressed down that path.
There are several techniques to alleviate the pressure, the most common being drilling a hole in the skull to let the blood leak out. Another method is to crack the skull, allowing it to separate slightly to accommodate brain swelling. They can also induce a coma through drugs, and sometimes this will slow brain swelling. All of these procedures are risky. ****Please note, I have only been trained to EMT level. I am NOT a doctor.
