Two friends younger than I am are widows because of heart problems. Both husbands were diabetic, but it’s the undetected heart problems that killed them. Just like your uncle, they died in just seconds. Both were carrying on conversations and when it was their turn to respond nothing...They were gone.
We should remember the works Breitbart started, honor him by continuing his efforts and contributing to the tip line on his site whenever possible.
RIP AB
If he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy then he was at risk for instant death most all of his life. As was stated this is fairly common in young athletes. This is different than the more common type, dialated cardiomyopathy, which is usually called heart failure as that is when the heart muscle is failing. One can see this in people when their ankles swell and similar symptoms. That can be managed for a long time but hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can bring instant death to the most seemingly healthy individual. A less common type is restrictive cardiomyopathy and probably the only cure for that is a heart transplant.
