@BreakingNews When I looked at several photos of him, my mind flashed the Marfan Syndrom light. Back in the 80s, when that Olympic volley ball player suddenly died, Sports Illustrated did an article about Marfan Syndrom. My very tall nephew showed up in a panic, with the article. He said, this is me, I have this, it's what I will die young from.
Sadly, he was correct. But he LIVED well between that day and the day in 2003 when he died, of a ruptured aortic aneurysm, age 42.
