" Just what sort of "intestinal blockage" was this?!"

Just a guess,but it sounds like his body went into septic shock, especially since the intestines were involved and he may have had a massive infection,which overwhelmed his body. This in turn causes various organ systems to fail-the lungs stop functioning,the kidneys shut down and the blood refuses to clot.When that cascade of organ failures start,the prognosis is grave.
