Very sad.
I heard it was a dysecting of his aorta. In layman's terms, he developed an anurysm *weakness in the wall of his blood vessel*. The Aorta is the blood vessel coming out of the heart when it pumps blood to the body. Very hard to detect when a dysection is going on and very great blood loss all at once.
This is what my father died of this year. All mly dad complained about was it felt like his throat was closing.
John was way too young, very tragic.

When the wall of the aorta disintegrates the blood loss is massive. This "main artery" has the full pressure of the heart pressing into it. It is very large, like a small garden hose, made up of five primary layers. A weakening of this artery is hard to detect. Even if he was on the table having some other surgery and they found this condition, if would have been hard to save him. The artery will lose integrity over several points and just blow apart! Very sad, lose of a great talent! Maverick
