[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know we are all genuinely curious why he died, since it’s shocking when someone relatively young has a stroke.

Maybe it’s smoking or genetic or high blood pressure, I just wish there wasn’t an air of judgement to it. Like, ‘yep, smoking, that will get ya!’

He was a really awesome guy from what I hear and I think picking apart the cause of stroke somehow reduces who he WAS. [/quote]

Guys, strokes often happen for no apparent reason. Aneurysm. Undetected holes in the heart leading to clots. Trauma prompting a clot.

It's weird that people think he did something to cause his stroke. Don't you know otherwise healthy people who drop dead because of a heart attack or stroke? Happens to runners and super fit people all the time. There's typically an undetected underlying medical issue, but often it "just happens." [/quote]

They weren’t actually healthy - they had an undetected condition. Frankly since most people don’t have their loved ones autopsied we typically never find out what caused their death - but not doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a clear reason.

A friend of ours , who was in very good physical shape, dropped dead of a sudden heart attack at age 52. No autopsy, but I had noticed a few months prior that he just didn’t look good for some reason. Something was wrong.

People are just curious though - they aren’t blaming anyone, they just want to know how to be healthier themselves to prevent such things.
And it can help people to know the cause of death. Brittany Murphy died at age 32 of pneumonia, complicated by iron deficiency anemia and a bunch of medications she was taking:an anti-depressant, an anti-seizure medication, an inflammatory drug, one of Monjack’s beta blockers, and Vicoprofen for period pain. This tells you that you aren’t invincible even at a young age.

Kim Porter died of pneumonia at 47. Her doctor gave her an anti inflammatory drug - no mention of antibiotics - and she died in her sleep. She left behind 3 kids:

She had been feeling unwell with flu-like symptoms for about four days before her death, the autopsy report says, and her symptoms of coughing, congestion, sweats, sore throat and body aches worsened over the next days.

She saw her doctor and was given Toradol, an anti-inflammatory drug usually administered for pain, plus saline fluids and vitamins. The day before her death she reported a streak of blood in her phlegm. The night before her death, she watched TV and went to bed. She was found the next morning.

[b]We’re all vulnerable. People want to know the ‘why’ to try their best to protect themselves and their loved ones. It’s not to ‘blame anyone’[/b]

Kim Porter had zero drugs in her system. No flu, no viruses. Just a bad lung infection. Scary.

According to the coroner's report, Porter's body was screened for traces of alcohol and a battery of drugs, including barbiturates, cocaine and opioids, and all the results were negative. Same for the tests for a list of viruses, such as adenovirus and influenza A and B.  [/quote]
